Seth Bradley, 23, a head server at Liberty Food and Wine Exchange in downtown Reno, is proud of how well the restaurant responded to help its staff when the pandemic shutdown began. “When Covid first hit, we had everybody come in, this was like pre quarantine, obviously and we had everybody come in like the whole staff, and we have a pretty large staff, and they (Liberty) gave us a bunch of food, like a lot of meats that were probably going to be going to waste and like pastas and just whatever they could. And we all got to just kind of take whatever we wanted, essentially. They were trying to just give us some kind of security because we weren't going to have work for who knows how long.” In this episode, our reporter Gracie Gordon interviews Bradley about how the pandemic unfolded and affected his livelihood from the initial shutdown up to today.
