I recently walked into a pizzeria with a sign on its door announcing New York City’s apartheid, i.e., that all patrons must have submitted to the Jab. Of course, neither I nor the proprietor took this illegal and anti-Constitutional diktat seriously. He sold me a delicious slice, and I complimented him on his masklessness.
But not all restaurateurs are as savvy as Mr. Pizza:
New York City restaurateurs are complaining that their business has been slashed severely by the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, which requires people 12 and older to show vaccination proof for indoor dining, indoor fitness, and indoor entertainment.
Pre-pandemic, O’Donoghue’s Pub and Restaurant was a successful business that has been open for 10 years in Times Square, Manhattan.
Fergal Burke, the owner of O’Donoghue’s noticed that his business has seen “a massive drop,” since the vaccine mandate came into effect. …
He said that he needed to hire another person to be at the door checking for vaccination proof, which increased his expenses.
Comparing the clientele from pre-mandate to when it kicked in about two weeks ago, “Our business is definitely down 50, I’m going to say 60 percent,” Burke said … . “There’s just not people coming into the restaurant, they have the fear of being asked for vaccines.”
Burke and his staff have had to refuse a lot of customers for not having the passes.
“They’re being refused and they get a resentment against us, they don’t get a resentment against Bill de Blasio or Biden, or whoever is mandating us to check for this.”
Yep. It’s the same with higher prices at the gas-pumps and supermarkets. Why do the sheeple almost always blame their fellow victims rather than Rulers?
“It comes as a personal rejection,” he said, further stressing that it’s not O’Donoghue’s that wants this. “We don’t want this mandate, we want nothing to do with this.”
Then, Mr. Burke, may I suggest that you adopt the same tactics as the aforementioned pizzeria?
He also noted how the subway is full of people but there’s no requirement to show vaccination proof.
“I mean how is that fair in New York City, that the trains are jammed with people with a silly mask on and they’re not being mandated to show nothing, and yet they’re coming against the heart of the city. We’re the ones that’s trying to keep 20 people employed here,” Burke said.
Hear, hear!
“We will go out of business if this continues, it’s gonna force us to shut our doors.” …
Restauranteur Stratis Morfogen, a managing partner at Brooklyn Chop House, thinks that the government needs to start considering bailouts to help the restaurant industry again.
NOOOOO! Gracious, buddy, politicians are the problem, not the solution!
“Business is down probably 50 percent because people are not comfortable with being forced to take a vaccine,” Morfogen told The Epoch Times.
“All of a sudden, we dropped 40 percent from week to week, since the mandate started.
“The politicians don’t understand it is that there is no one size fits all with medicine.
That’s why they became politicians: they’re too stupid for productive work.
“And you can’t tell a person has just finished chemotherapy, that they have to take a vaccine to have a dinner, when their doctor says they can’t.”
Morfogen said that now they have to police COVID-19 vaccination cards, most of which are written in pen. He says 2 million were distributed before the city implemented a central database.
“It’s as smart as my 1983 driver’s permit. My daughter who is 13 can print out one of the fakes on her bedroom printer and you want me to question the customers if this card is legitimate, when every one of them is pretty much is written in pen?”
Take heed, those of you in need of Jab-card without the Jab.
But here’s my favorite reaction to this fascism:
The manager of custom burger restaurant The Counter located in Times Square told The Epoch Times that “everyone is losing thousands of dollars,” and that they will go out of business due to the vaccine mandate.
“The mayor is a jerk,” she said.
BRAVO!
Deliciously, the report ends on this note:
The Epoch Times reached out to the mayor’s office for comment.
We eagerly await his response.
