Dear business owners, managers and employees in B.C.,
If your business falls under the 鈥減roof of vaccine鈥� mandate, I urge you to not only follow the protocols, but embrace them.
I鈥檓 hearing that there are some servers and employees complaining about having to check people鈥檚 vaccine status and ID.
I understand that change can be frustrating at times. That said, please have a word with yourself and your staff to ensure that they are not 鈥渂itching鈥� about it to customers.
Most vaccinated people are very pleased that things are opening back up, and we鈥檙e wanting to support responsible businesses that are following the rules.
Personally, I dine out quite frequently; go to pubs; go to movies; have a gym membership; and am looking forward to getting back to concerts and the odd sporting event.
That said, I will not support any business that I hear is not following public health measures.
Our province is approaching a 90 per cent vaccination rate. It is not a good business plan to thumb your nose at us vaccinated people, and pander to the shrinking fringe group of anti-vaxxers. It won鈥檛 end well for you, your employees or your business.
Fully vaccinated
Brad Dirks, Walnut Grove
