As of July 2022, MLLs appear to be largely back to normal operations.

Ordering to the table has been shut down, with most MLLs offering self-serve buffets similar to what was available pre-COVID.

Note that the EWR MLL has been permanently shut down as a result of changes/construction at EWR.

Showers
YYZ​​​​​​ int - closed (Aug 12. They claimed all showers closed at YYZ but I was only at int.)
YVR tb - open
YVR int - open
YUL int - open

No replacemtent that I was aware of or cared for
Mars and Aero were two I used to get

Here's a first for me... I just made my first alcohol request (double of JW Black) and the staff member/server said that she's only serving me this and I'm not having anymore after this.

Hmm, you may be right about the Mars rather than Snickers.

What?!?
Yeah it's weird. She's been manning the serve area the last while and the only thing I got was a chamomile tea from her.
prior to that I ordered a bunch of hot food and got a green tea.
this was the only drink order I was going to make here, but now I kinda want to ask for another... but I've decided it's not worth it to make a fuss. I dont recognize her and think she's new. I'm assuming she's just doing her job and is erring on the side of caution.

You absolutely should make a fuss. One double is not acceptable.

i get you, but I'm not you.
Perhaps I should, but is it worth the trouble for me? Probably not. Might be for you.

(But like I said, this was my only planned drink order for the night anyway)

Not worth it for you? I've seen you consume like eight triples and still be completely coherent. I feel like if any of us is going to be impacted by this in the longer term, it's not the guy who rarely drinks any of the dreck available in the MLL

my way to let it out was to simply post it here... in the grand scheme of things, this is a one-off.
I'll say this - if this happens again in a future visit, then I might raise it.

Just remember that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Exactly. I'm a big fan of the dreck, and am not a fan of not having self-pour - especially with a limit of 1 tiny double!

That said, I'll add to my list - no drinking games with yyznomad .

Hopefully once things normalize, we'll go back to self-pour. It's so much more pleasant.

I don't know whether his powers extend beyond JW Black - if you get him drinking something else, maybe you'll have better luck

I assure you that I do speak up against evils such as racism.

Was racism why you could only get one double?

That is simply brilliant! Especially given the quote in question was originally delivered during a sermon about the evils of alcohol.

Well played Sir!
