A restaurant has unveiled a new dining plan to help customers to remain socially distant – a giant rubber ring on wheels.<br /><br />Owners at Fish Tales in Ocean City, Maryland, the US, have bought custom-made "bumper tables" to keep diners at a 6ft distance when the restaurant reopens.<br />In a Facebook Live video they posted on Saturday, employees are seen testing the bumper tables as they stand in the middle of the ring where a "table" is placed around the inner tube.<br /><br />Customers would be able to move around to chat with their friends while maintaining a safe distance with others.<br />A woman can be heard saying in the background: "Only at Fish Tales can you find these special tables for social distancing.<br /><br />"They are six feet apart. You can drink safely,” she said as a number of employees wheel them from the back of a truck onto the bar.<br /><br />"Have you ever seen anything like this before? We are always trying to be fun at Fish Tales"<br />She adds that the tables will be available to customers "whenever we are allowed to serve".<br /><br />Owner Donna Harman said the idea came from Revolution Event Design and Production in Baltimore, according to ClickOrlando.<br /><br />She has since received quite a lot of positive reactions from the video.<br /><br />One viewer wrote: "Social distancing at its finest."<br />Genius idea! Could you imagine....I think it would be a blast1" said another one.<br /><br />"Is this real? Are they really doing this ? 'Cause it’s hilarious and I so would do it I love the creativity," a third added.<br /><br />But others raised concerns whether the diners could get out for bathroom and questioned if the customers have had to stand during the whole meal.<br />
