This HGI said no food at all, even pre-packaged snacks for purchase.
This is beyond lawyers and liability.
I mentioned not just lawyers but also the tangled mess of various orders/directives/etc. coming out of jurisdictions. Many of them could be interpreted in a way as having a requirement to shut down foodservice operations wholesale, and some may even be explicitly written as such. My point was that from both a liability and a compliance perspective, the property is in a tough spot and the conservative/safe approach would be to completely absolve themselves of it. I'm willing to give them a pass given the unknowns and the fluidity of the situation; if you want to pound the table then go for it.
