Went to get my car washed today.
Hasn't been done since the bushfires.
Place was like a ghost town, only about 4 cars there, spaced well apart, where usually it's a continual producttion line.
The cafe was not only closed, but totally ripped out. The chairs were lined up with "No entry" signs stuck to them.
Where there's usually swarms of ppl running around with chamois and vacuumers, mainly students from India, by the looks, there were only about 6 ppl doing the work. Whom I recognised as mainly the managers.
One of the managers, who I see regularly hustling the washers and managing the line, was in there, shorts and a T-shirt (with the company logo), doing the job.
They even put up the bonnet and vacuumed the leaves out of the tray! Never been done before! Too busy!
I commented to the manager guy, as to how unusual it was to see him out of his white shirt and tie and into the shorts and
t-shirt.
He smiled and said, "too many Chiefs and not enough Indians, ma'am"

From what I read the man had already been warned twice for not adhering to restrictions.
When the police had to speak to him a third time he was fined.
So it wasn't just sitting to eat the kebab, it was that he ignored the other 2 warnings.
The police seem to be issuing warnings most of the time, and just issuing the fines when these warnings are ignored or the offenders become argumentative.

Many news stories leave out these important details which makes it hard for us who read them.
