The wife and I ate out last night, at a local German restaurant in the Wiesbaden region.
Prior to Covid, this place would have had ten tables filled, with two to four people at each table.
Saturday evening last night? We sat there from 6 PM to 9 PM (when they closed)....there were never more than three tables filled at any single time.
Sign of the times? Just in general, with the economy stalled, and people short on money.....everyone has cut back on dining out.
This place can probably survive a year or two with this drastic cut in profits, but eventually....they will have to shut down.
We saw the same thing about a week ago....at a Turkish pizza shop in the area. We walked in, and found one single table (out of a dozen) with people sitting there....on a Friday evening at 5 PM. There would usually be eight tables filled, with half of them teenagers with their friends.
