New Lounge Experience
I flew SYD-BNE last week on QF, the only lounge operating was the J lounge.
What a debacle.
Thanks to the world now being run by Karens, you have to line up at the bar just to get a cup of tea or a glass of water. 15+ people lined up at some points.
I couldn't get a friand myself - apparently is much safer if a QF staffer hands one to me (to be fair, the berry ones are a lot better than the snacks they had pre-KARENVID-19).
No newspapers. No self-serve anything. No table service (tables cleared quickly, but you want - you get off your butt and get in line).
Lounge was maybe 15% full (8:45am - 10am).
This is worse than post-9/11.

I had my plague doctor kit on though so I was good. I'll just apply some leeches to get the COVID-19 humours out of my blood.
