Charge back on your credit card and never go back. Leave negative reviews

White, male, straight in SF? You're not only minority but despised. How many piercings did she have?

Last week a buddy and I grabbed a burger here in SF. After ordering, we waited inside at a table for about 10 minutes. Masks off. No problems. Order number called and went to counter (with masks). My cashier handed me my food, no questions asked. Other cashier serving my buddy asked to see his vaccine card, which he provided. She had a very confrontational attitude and didn't like the looks of his vaccine card, which was straight from CVS. She said the paper felt too flimsy and it was printed slightly askew (which happens sometimes). So she had the manager come over to kick us both out.

We went back later to speak with the manager and get some clarification. He said he didn't like the looks of his vaccine card and accused my friend of either forging it or that it was a photocopy and they don't accept photocopies.

BUT... they WILL accept a photo on your phone of the card. So I asked him how a photo on your phone is any different from a photocopy printed out? He shrugged. So I asked him... ok if we go outside and take a photo of this very same card that you won't accept, you WILL accept that?

He said yes.

Mind = blown. How does that make any sense?

Anyway, my friend's card is real. The cashier serving him had a weird attitude and was instantly aggressive and confrontational even BEFORE he showed her his card.

My point in all of this is how is a burger flipper in any way qualified to gauge the authenticity of a vaccine card? How is anybody working retail anywhere, qualified? How is anybody other than someone who actually administers vaccines and/or manages them in some capacity even remotely qualified? And how businesses are applying their policies is simply inconsistent. It's such BS.

That is your take away from that event?

put reviews everywhere. Create a new account even. New email account too. What's 15 mins and then cut and paste everywhere

I'm surprised no mobile stream to out on YouTube or Twitter and the like and let it go viral?

Did op have his gt3? I'd be more worried about that

Give them a scathing review on Yelp. 1 star out of 5. Hit them where it hurts.

[sigfan91]

You are part of the problem for giving them service. Just say no

This.

Most of the deaths (missing millions) in the USSRs great terror were not in the gulags as Robert Conquest thought. They were people thrown out of their living place, fired, and their ration cards taken... A lot of people sent to the gulags got out alive.

Cool story

I haven't read the whole thread. But I can assure it's worthless without naming the offending restaurant.

How long before software is implemented in every business at government expense which validates vax status as businesses do for credit card or debit card validity?
That will eliminate this problem
Seems Frisco implemented their draconian law without any direction.

Pretty soon: Filling out a 4473VAX form followed by NICVAX check administered by the CDC. Complete with armed CDC agents to verify booster compliance. VSC (Vax Safety Cards) good for 5 years. Records to be kept 20 years.

^^^ Yeah, and I find it interesting they started asking for vax cards AFTER you paid/ordered/waited w/o masks on in the store. If it was a valid concern they should have had someone outside asking for your 'papers'.

I really think we should avoid places which demand to see your vaccination card.

And yes, I'm all vaccinated and plan to get the booster when it is available. I just don't think it is good for society that we demand that kind of thing. For that matter, if this becomes rampant all some has to do to make sure you starve is to shred your card.

This is nasty, nasty stuff. I strongly recommend not participating.
