Can you eat outside at Five Guys?

The Five Guys around me all have tables outside. Is it ok to eat outdoors after you've done all the inside observations?

I’ve written before in my overall comments to hint that I ate outside to make exterior observations. No penalties

Often, that’s where the only exterior trash can is. How else would we be able to report on that if we didn’t visit the patio?

Good points! Thank you!

I almost always dine outside.

Before covid, we were not allowed to eat outside. After covid--rules changed. For a while, outside was the only place to eat!

Laughing to myself - I skimmed the page and read this as "do you eat outside of FG?" I'm imagining someone eating only FG and laughing. Although, looking at the where are you shopping today psot it seems some people do hit FG pretty hard!

Of the 12 FGs in my extended shopping area, only one has outside tables (2 of them). None of them have outside trash cans. I suppose it is because it is too hot and humid in this area in the summer, and too cold from late Fall through early Spring.

Personally I like to spy on the kitchen as much as possible. I could do the report just off what I see while waiting for my order, but sometimes it's informative to watch repetition on the grill or the fryer. So that's my only reason for not sitting outside. (Well, that plus everything myst said since we're not that far from each other.)

I don't think the MSC or client would object at all to you using the patio, though.
