Seems to be a fairly normal day minus a few qanon nutters. Sad that a few restaurants had to stop doing takeout cuz of nutjobs phoning in fake orders to punish restaurants for complying with orders.

Fuck vaccine passports. This is the hill I will die on. I will not do business with places that turn people into second class citizens.

How is having to simply get take-out rather than indoor service = turning people into second class citizens?

It's an egregious infringement of liberty, that's why. What's next, you're going to ask me to wear shoes in your store even though I get debilitating blisters?

I'm fine with the whole "No shirt, no shoes? No service", unless the person is hot. Hot people should be able to gain indoor access to places without a shirt on.

It's not just indoor dining. It's everything "not essential." I don't do a lot of dining out, but I'm not showing any papers just for the privilege of spending my money in someone's establishment. My dad for example won't go anywhere that cards him for alcohol. The man is in his mid-seventies, and a request for an ID will have him simply get up and leave. I've seen him do it. Asking for peoples' papers (which many will refuse to get the vaccine in the first place) removes them from society. I don't know how people can't see that being equated to making them second class citizens.

The colored counter is over there.

Comparing this to Jim Crow either reflects an overstatement of the harm of proof of vaccination or an understatement about racism, imo.
