Kicked Out of Restaurant Because of Vaccine Card

[EM2]

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?

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

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

San Francisco is the worst large city in the U.S.
Why would anyone go there?

an sjw can get got triggered by anything. the fact that he was a cismale, looked like an ex, was exhibiting micro aggression and "creepy and toxic" behavior by acting like a man could have easily given her ptsd and compelled her to find an excuse to screw with him. this is what giving an inch looks like. vax cards should never be a thing in the first place. now the people who are the least qualified to decide have full power over what and where you can eat.

And there’s your problem.

If you want to really piss them off go on yelp and complain that the manager was wearing a MAGA hat LOL

Why was she touching his vaccine card? They need to see your card, not touch it or handle it. It is a personal document and private property, not to mention a federal form issued by the CDC.

Besides you don't know where her hands have been, nor the hands of anyone else touching the register she is using.

Laminating it is also a useful idea.
