“Frankly, we didn’t have to change that much to put this deal in place,” said Cactus shift supervisor Jason Palberg. “Most of our customer base tempts fate on a regular basis anyway, and our restaurant isn’t what some would call “clean.” So we just slapped a poster on the door. We didn’t even need to specify what we were offering 50% off on, which got us out of a real hassle with HR. Since then our foot traffic has almost doubled. I overheard someone call us “generous” last night."

In response to this deal and the recent spike in Omicron variant cases, bars around Iowa City have offered similar deals.
