What’s some stuff/people/businesses that git broke brains because of the pandemic?


And I don’t mean just crazy people.

I think streaming is one, seems like it exploded during the pandemic and a bunch of execs bet everything on it staying that way.

While the tiny theater in my city managed to get through the pandemic, the giant one is now a (even more than before) depressing shell where they serve hot dogs from rollers and just have a bag of buns out in a plastic bag. Like they just gave up. They have 9 monitors above the concessions counter and they’re all turned off all the time.

My dad broke but in a positive direction, the combination of trump getting elected and seeing how anti-mask people responded to Covid completely rewired his brain into becoming a leftist after being a Reagan-it’s his entire life.

A lab I have to go to for blood draws just got rid of reception during Covid and replaced it with self-service. It’s terrible. The idea is you checkin and leave, and come back at an assigned time. People just wind up waiting in the cramped room.

They used to have a ‘navigator’ to help people figure stuff out. They’ve since fired that person and now it’s just a confusing mess.

That lab never gonna have a receptionist ever again.

Seeing how fast we could get shot done was a depressing affirmation of all my worst beliefs. We really do just let poo poo get bad when we can fix it.

Also this thread can be for good brain breaking as well, I know it’s easier for us to talk about the bad ones.

Remote dr visits are incredible. If my partner didn’t insist on picking out produce their self, I’d absolutely still be doing grocery pick up.

Condiment stations should never be. They were always a mistake.
