Whitmer lifts stay-home order, allows dine-in restaurant service

[Cal Carpenter]

9. As a small business owner in Michigan, I am not happy about this

It is not time yet. I am not ready to let people in my store. We are just now starting curbside pickup. I would rather go out of business than let customers in. We are nonessential retail. It is not worth the risk. She had this great -sounding phased regional reopening plan. Why is she not following it? Wth?

If I sound like I am freaking out, that's because I am. Thank goodness my customers are loyal, they're ordering online, they will be respectful about curbside, and hopefully not too many of them will question our choice to wait longer before letting them in and shop elsewhere. So grateful my hubby feels the same way. So do several other mom and pops we know in our community.

Yes, it may kill my business, but I'd rather that than kill people, or risk my own life. Fuuuuuuuck.
