Have any of these geniuses been able to explain (a) how you liquify a microchip so it can be injected through a needle, and (b) what Bill Gates gets out it? Maybe it’s a scheme to get rich!
Back to the serious topic, salad bars and buffet bars in general may be in jeopardy for quite some time. My first thought based on immediate experience is the shutdown of all such self-serve bars at grocery stores, but there are entire restaurants premised on the concept, and some of them have announced permanent closures. Personally I was never that big a fan of most of those kinds of restaurants, but salad bars in grocery stores used to be my main source of convenient healthy rabbit-food type salads, and I miss them.
A new branch of a grocery store chain that opened near me recently made the decision to have most of the hot buffet (as well as the cold salad bar) completely self-serve, except for roasts that are carved to order by a server. It was a labor-saving decision that I bet they regret now as the entire self-serve hot and cold buffets are currently shut down.
