Utah is Home to Idiots...

So, the governor of Utah wants to raise the tax for cigarettes to around $3 and lower the food tax.  It'll save the average family about $30 a year.  But for the smoker, it'll cost them around $800 more

Well, if there's a mandated solid barrier between the bar and the restaurant, I can go to Utah, sit in the bar to eat, and know that I will not be sitting next to someone's child who thinks that it's okay to throw food, use my hair as a napkin, or scream piercingly while his mother looks on with indifference or approval. (I do not mind quiet well behaved children, and will tolerate badly behaved ones when it is clear that the parent is Doing All They Can In A Crisis. I've been there myself.)

It's actually a wall to hide the area where the bar tender mixes the drinks and where the drinks are located. So, it basically hides the behind-the-counters area where the bar tender is.

Oh, fun. They'll be watering drinks like anything.
