NEW YORK — The coronavirus delivered a pair of gut punches to Theodore Peck, owner of a coffee shop and bakery in Brooklyn.
But while he was confined to his home, New York ordered a near-shutdown of all restaurants to fight the virus. Peck had to close down his business and fire all his workers, and do it remotely. “I wrote them letters and emails and, you know, reached out and have donated. But I mean, there’s no recourse for being able to say I was in quarantine. I only had like an hour meeting with my staff and my managers before I knew it was going to happen.”
“My business is doing a certain type of business,” said Peck. “And to all of a sudden, you know, ‘Oh, we’re going to move everything to the Internet’ or ’We’re going to move everything to just phone calls?” We’re a community coffee shop. People have to come in to be a part of it.”
