A Langley caterer and food store owner is shaking her head at the people hosting gatherings in defiance of Public Health Orders.

owner Angie Quaale said the requests are for sizable events including a baptism.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 24, 28 people for a Super Bowl party,香蕉视频直播� she said. 香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檝e had three [event requests] in the last week.香蕉视频直播�

She said the three events were for at least 18 people each.

香蕉视频直播淚 just can香蕉视频直播檛 believe we have to still have this conversation,香蕉视频直播� she said.

Her reply to the party hosts was sending the .

香蕉视频直播淭hey香蕉视频直播檙e very clear guidelines,香蕉视频直播� Quaale said.

She香蕉视频直播檚 irked that the events are frivolous, noting people can香蕉视频直播檛 hold funerals and visit loved ones in hospitals, while others decide it香蕉视频直播檚 important to watch a football game.

香蕉视频直播淢ost people get it and are trying their best,香蕉视频直播� Quaale said.

She noted that she香蕉视频直播檚 like so many, wanting to get back to 香蕉视频直播渘ormal香蕉视频直播� life and shares people香蕉视频直播檚 frustrations but that香蕉视频直播檚 no reason to ignore the rules set out to protect people.

香蕉视频直播淧eople are fed up. They香蕉视频直播檙e tired, all of those things,香蕉视频直播� she said. 香蕉视频直播淲e can香蕉视频直播檛 quit now because we see the light at the end of the tunnel.香蕉视频直播�

Quaale said she is like so many other business owners, significantly impacted by the pandemic, and said there will be businesses out there that would cater to such clients because they are on the brink but most try to be responsible to protect customers and staff.

She is concerned that people willfully violating the rules to hold parties will prolong the pain for all and put more people at risk.

香蕉视频直播淧eople have made sacrifices,香蕉视频直播� she commented.

owner Steve McCaw said his Walnut Grove based business is still able to do some specialized catering following COVID protocols, such as single serve, individually sealed meals but has not been contacted about events.

香蕉视频直播淎s far as large parties, I香蕉视频直播檝e received no calls,香蕉视频直播� he said.

But McCaw said caters are also dealing with online scammers making large food orders, an unwelcome annoyance during difficult times. Scammers have contacted him about placing orders for large numbers of items such as wraps. He said they insisted in paying upon delivery but he insisted on prepayment with a credit card and they tend to hang up.
