And those were the Eddie Murphy years.

I don’t know how any kind of buffet/salad bar/hot food bar/self-serve is going to work in the age of COVID without employees whose only job is to watch patrons like a hawk and make sure they don’t contaminate the food with their germs and droplets (places are already having a hard enough time as it is finding workers).…
