I remember even as a kid hearing about all the backlash from restaurants about smoking bans. How they'd have no customers, etc. And none of that happened. It's the first time I realized that a lot of business owners are idiots, that having a seemingly successful business doesn't even require understanding the business or customers.
Pubs were also whining a lot about how they would be on the breadline before the year was out.
Don't know what it's like round your way, but the pubs in my town are still pretty busy.
Reminds me of this episode of Nathan for you; https://m.imdb.com/title/tt5199634/
The bar owner basically does exactly that and blames anti smoking laws on her failing bar
Such an incredible show.
