Strange Lunch Outing

Hey everyone, how are you all doing?
We (me and my husband) went out to lunch at one of our local favorites because it had been quite a while since we had been there. If you try to go on a Friday, you may not even get in because they are so busy.
Anyways - we were in the middle of eating our lunch and the power went out. I had never been in a restaurant and had the power go out before. Have you?
It was out for about 20 minutes before it finally did come back...It did get a little more empty during the power outage, but once it came back on it filled up all over again.
We also wondered how we would pay if the power was out - I guess just cash? What if someone didn't have cash because they always pay with a card.
Anyways - that was a very interesting lunch!
If it loads - photo is mine - winter a couple years ago. It's currently snowing and may look like this soon. Boo! It wasn't supposed to snow till Saturday.

Sounds like a crazy day. I'm glad the power came back on.

I've only been in a grocery store when the power went out. It's supposed to s**w here today. All the white crap melted yesterday.

When I was living in the Philippines power outages are quite common. But I can understand the shock. As now that I have moved to UK I have only ever seen a power outage twice and that’s before the back up generator kicks in.

I've been shopping but never in a restaurant when that happened
