They are now being allowed to have customers on their grounds as long as they adhere to a laundry list of restrictions designed to protect both employees and moviegoers. Part of this process includes limiting the total number of cars per screening and requiring patrons to stay in their cars with few exceptions. From these major concessions on down, please be mindful of every single one, folks. <a title=\"\u2018Champaign County Rallies around Restaurants, Retailers, Small Businesses\u2019 group @ Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/215956263095817\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">There is a very empathic movement to support local businesses<\/span><\/a>, but it does little good if individuals take it upon themselves to put their people in danger and owners in hot water with careless actions and selfish attitude.<strong> Repeat after me: \u201cWhen in doubt, don\u2019t be an asshole.\u201d<\/strong> They will hardly expect you to have everything memorized to a tee the first time you motor past the vacant ticket booth this season. (Why vacant? Because until further notice, you need to preorder tickets to both reserve your space and affect a contactless transaction.) If they give you reminders during your drive-in evening, however, follow them promptly. We need to live alongside our friends and neighbors knowing full well that any one of us can get sick from the virus at any time until we have a widely-available vaccine injected into our systems. This includes all workers interacting with the public. Enjoy the drive-in experience smartly. Go as prepared as you can, especially for the sake of your children loaded in the back seats. If you don\u2019t feel comfortable despite the precautions, it is absolutely no social demerit on you if you stay away.
