It cannot sustain. I actually don't mind waiter service in pubs, and my boy is making a fortune in extra hours, but if I want to stand at the bat then I should be able to do so. The stupidity of the whole thing is no better illustrated by the assumption that you cannot catch covid sitting down. In a pub as soon as you stand up you have to put a mask on, this to prevent you passing the virus to others, but if someone wearing a mask comes to your table you can talk to them and breath on them and you won't pass the virus to them. Oh really? It is nonsense. Restaurants and pubs are better regulated establishments than Tesco or Primark or Wembley ever will be.
Well, let's face it, you spent an awful lot of time talking about not being allowed to go to pubs from March 2020 and it seems you're still not happy. I broadly agree with you actually however, because, having been told throughout 2020 that vaccines we're the thing that would make all the difference in the fight against Covid, it now appears that was not quite true - we were continually told during the various lockdowns that things would be back to "normal" in spring 2021 and it's going to be increasingly hard to hold a line that is essentially "ah yes, but" when the public remember the line they were being fed throughout most of 2020 and early 2021.

We differ in our interpretation of the word "lockdown" - I certainly don't see what we have now as another lockdown, more as living with certain restrictions, the life I was living under what I define as lockdown is quite a bit different to the one I am now.
