Where I live, mask mandates do not really matter. That will very soon be determining their participation in their ability to buy, etc things.
MASKS, not vaccines.
They will be shunned, turned away, maybe even banned. Their attitude, "I was going to spend a lot of money and now I'll leave a bad review" means ZERO.
I look forward to the destruction of their idea of society because of their mindset.
Fair enough point...but, it means the business doesn't get that money.
turning away customers = turning away money.
that's a losing business strategy, IMO.
restaurants and bars will be those who face destruction.
People don't "have to" go out to eat and the vast majority of restaurant industry has a brutally-tight, razor-thin bottom line....
60% of restaurants fail within 1 year....80% within 5 years.

Businesses don't need those people. They'll be fine, even gain new business.

72% of the population is vaxxed and will gladly return to an establishment that prioritizes their safety.
vs
28% of the population who, if the business adopted their point of view, would likely close shop due to employee/customers getting the virus.
Which strategy is the losing one again?

the one that runs on a "80% failure rate in 5 years" and turns away customers in the name of Safety Theater.
that one?
It's simply my opinion. I thankfully don't own a restaurant.
One thing I do know is that I will not support restaurants with such "Vax Only" policies (I am vaxxed. So is my wife.)
If that doesn't hurt their bottom line (or improves it), then all the power to them....good for them. I am happy for them. I don't cheer against anybody. I make my own decisions and the Market can decide from there.
It just seems dumb to have policies that turn away customers, IMO.
I highly doubt it will work in terms of "improving safety" in any real way or numbers anyway....
a) people can just go home and print a fake card w/ a 1/2-way decent printer.
b) people can borrow somebody else's Vax Card
C) the ONLY way to effectively overcome/prevent/stop A & B is to hire a bouncer to check Vax Cards & IDs....at $15 an hour...or more....for 10-12 hours...or more.
Maybe you're right. Maybe some people will like the policy and go out to eat more as a result. Maybe. It just seems like quite a risk to add (bouncer) expenses and turn away existing customers on the HOPE that the Vaccinated will make up the difference financially.
I wouldn't do it if I had a restaurant, that's all I'm saying.
In the end, people who own restaurants can do whatever they want...and I can choose to give them my money or not....the Market will decide.
viva capitalism!

You may choose not to go to a restaurant with a vax only policy, but you are in the minority. As you said, the market will decide and the restaurants imposing that will get complaints from anti vaxxers but will get more vaccinated customers. Those vaccinated will also be more appreciative for the policy and will spend more in my opinion. Those complaining about masks and vaccines aren't going to spend more and tip better out of appreciation for attempting to keep them safe. You may disagree but that is what a few friends who own bars and restaurants have indicated to me.

Pfizer, yes. I didn't produce many antibodies with the first two, hopefully third time's the charm!
He/she will also be eligible for the third shot as of right now, hopefully it helps.Quote

Good luck. A friend of mine who has had a liver transplant is in the same situation.
