    If the owner's idea is really that stupid, then encourage him to chase it. And when the bar goes out of business or has to drop that requirement to stay in business, you have a stronger point to make in your next online debate.

    Despite all this quibbling, give the guy props, he managed to get free TV advertising for his little hole-in-the-wall watering hole.

    While in a forum, if I say I will, or will not do something...that is not virtue signaling, it is reality.

    I won't say I hope his business fails, but I will say he's hurting his own recovery as well as his employees and his potential customers dollars.

    He thinks he's doing the right thing for his business and maybe his employees. Time will tell if he's right. A sign like this isn't going to get me to go to a bar or restaurant where the service or product is bad or even mediocre, neither is the lack of a sign.

    I'd certainly rather have had bars and restaurants decide for themselves whether to cater to smokers or militant non-smokers than have a law passed and I detest cigarette smoke.

    IN AZ yes. They have opened up vaccine to anyone over 16, or was it 18?

    Funny you should ask that question.

    I received an email last week, regarding a get together that was being cancelled. Due to one of the sponsors testing + for the virus.

    While they are an educated person, i found this sentence to be another misconception about the vaccine. YET, something so many believe to be true.

    I want to say this------I am fully vaccinated and have been since February. Therefore, it was shocking to get this positive result.




    Which i keep trying to impress on people. IT'S A VACCINE, NOT A CURE!

    AMEN - it's hard to believe how we went from curious and inquisitive to know the truth to a people who are spoon fed from the media all day long, and who see a post of Facebook and tout that as truth. Scary.

    I support business owners being able to define their own terms as to who can patronize them so long as it isn't "white people only/black people only". It isn't a government mandate so I'm a bit confused as to what the outrage is. The owner applies his own reasons to his own decisions and doesn't seem to advocate it for other businesses... meh. Businesses should be able to have a dress code if they want too. At the end of the day, it's their property and their wallet affected if they apply dumb decisions to their own operations, but nothing requires us to patronize them nor is their any lack of options or other places to go to.

    Now if a town mandated it, that's a different story.

    Sure, it?s just one small business. What if a larger company took a similar stance? Or several larger companies. Let?s say United airlines, Delta airlines, Southwest, and pretty much every airline decided that in order to fly in their airlines you needed to show them some sort of medical records?
