Dine out, tip big

We are thrilled Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s administration lifted the restrictions on indoor service at bars and restaurants earlier this month, and we urge our readers who feel comfortable enough to do so to help our eateries celebrate the news by dining out and tipping big.

Our bar and restaurant proprietors have been especially resourceful throughout the coronavirus pandemic, offering new takeout and delivery options and boosting up their outdoor dining options when the state wouldn’t let them host patrons inside. But those proprietors have also been among the hardest-hit by the pandemic. It’s almost impossible for a restaurant to bring in revenue over Zoom.

We’re so thankful for every establishment that survived the shutdowns, but, if they’re to continue to thrive, they need our help.

We know our restaurant owners and every waitress, waiter, and bartender is doing everything they can to keep their customers safe.

So, please, head out for a meal as often as you can, eat heartily, enjoy the stellar service of our local establishments, and reward them at the end with a big tip.

Doing so not only helps them. It helps you by boosting our local economy.
