Romualdas Petrošius, who has worked in seaside cafeterias for 20 years, says he has lost his tongue in explaining to beach visitors why there is no alcohol in the cafeteria. The turnover has been cut in half due to this decision and it is not a dream to catch up in August.
“Such is joy, joy through tears … Two months have passed the best without beer, now you will not lose weight without eating. Of course, beer, however, has its place in circulation, making a profit. There are Russians, Belarusians, foreigners come, and they are all brutally surprised that there is no beer. The tongue sank without interpretation. Two months have passed, they will not succeed anywhere, there are no utopias. That the climate would be at least 30 degrees … “said a businessman with a non-stationary coffee at the first and second Melnrage.
The best two months have passed without beer, now you will not lose weight without eating.
A glass of beer, depending on the type, in the cafes he runs costs 3-4 euros. The businessman says that the price has not changed, it is the same as last year. There are 10 cafeterias on the Klaipeda coast, in some of them the prices are 50 cnt for a glass of beer.
R. Petrošius says that the decision not to allow the sale of alcohol was simply idiotic.
“It was an idiotic decision, I don’t know what Veryga is … We don’t have” homeless “drinkers, educated people. If a” warm “person comes from yesterday, but getting drunk with me … it’s too expensive. Bomžas will buy two navels for three euros and he will buy you a cup. Now we just need good weather, if so, we will recover a little, “said the businessman.
He called the situation curious that in a bar just 50 meters away, at Melnrage Rescue Station II, beach visitors could buy beer, but no longer in their non-stationary cafe.
“Are there no paradoxes?” Laughed the businessman.
Like the season opener
Guoda Uselienė, co-owner of the Come and Come cafe in Melnrage 15 minutes He claimed that the quarantine hit the cafes, the doors had to be closed and later the prohibition on the sale of alcohol came into effect.
“It just came to our attention then. We have weak drinks of up to 15 degrees: beer, wine, we can make some cocktails. In fact, we hoped to return the law because it was illogical for us, we were a non-stationary cafe and next to it, a stationary one. It was hard to know why we weren’t having wine or a cocktail. He says, but it’s possible there. And we can’t. We were sure it wouldn’t be long. Too bad it took too long anyway. We’ve already held the second opening of the season on that occasion. We are very happy to have left you free to choose, “he said.
G. Uselienė says that this situation caused financial and moral pain. The question “why?” It was not answered.
