While some customers have been understanding and supportive, others have taken to social media to harass business owners and employees.
A few restaurants and bars have been criticized on social media for including a COVID-19 surcharge on their bills.
"When this started, we were running about $50 for a case of burgers and then it was up to $55, $62, $66, $72 last week and they just told me next week it'll probably be up to $88 a case, so almost double what we were paying," said Goog's owner Brad White. Palmer White, Goog's general manager, said the COVID-19 charge isn't to make the restaurant wealthy, and he adds that people have generally been supportive and"very understanding" of the restaurant's new charge.
