as someone previously asked what is F/A?

Are they requiring patron to wear masks and gloves as they are going through the line, or is it voluntarily? I personally like GC, but don’t feel buffets are safe unless they can eliminate the cross contamination possible with self serving, which seems virtually impossible. I understand many GC around the country have gone to the cafeteria system where staff serve you to prevent cross contamination. That I might try.

According to experts, there is an extremely low risk of Covid infection from food. While there is potential for infection from touching hard surfaces like serving utensils, this is easily dealt with by using hand sanitizers after getting your food. Simple matter of getting your food, put some sanitizer on your hands (or go to the restroom and wash them) and you are safer than if you were to have gone to a buffet before the days of coronavirus. Just be careful to not touch your face or your own eating utensils between serving and sanitizing.

Did yesterday. They maintain social distance with tables and the buffet is marked with six foot decals. Worker behind the food have gloves, change out the spoons/tongs every few minutes. You enter the line at salad area and walk one way to the end. Servers bring the plates and silverware to the table. It was comfortable and food okay, not as good as before the virus.

It's nice that this post actually turned out pretty nice add us to the list of people that really like the place

Once they opened, I have gone to Golden Corral three times for take out service. They are absolutely observing 6 feet distancing and the like. The bathrooms are amazingly clean and the serving staff all have masks. Anyone who is hesitating to to GC have nothing to worry about. The company and the staff are doing an amazing job. BTW - until I moved to the Villages, I have never frequented GC restaurants, so for all in doubt, I have no vested interest.

I've never been comfortable at this place -- in any location. There are too many unsupervised kids, and people tend to crowd around the food. And, don't get me started on the chocolate fountain. I can almost feel the germs!

Some people like a dining experience, others just like to eat. Some like quality, others like quantity. Those are choices , but the concept of all you can eat is for me something I would never be interested in. I eat out 4 or 5 nights a week I’m 5ft 6 139 lbs 81YO no meds I’ll continue to pick quality over quantity and also never cook lol
