CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – MARCH 16: Customers have breakfast at Don’s Grill in the Pilsen neighborhood on March 16, 2020 in Chicago, Illinois. Yesterday the governors of Illinois and Ohio announced they were closing bars and restaurants in their states in an attempt to curtail the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). Don’s will remain open for carry-out orders only. The wait staff here and at many other restaurants are concerned about the affect this will have on their incomes since most rely on tips to make the majority of their income.
