My guess is the people that are spot checking have access to the database. There’s definitely an API because the Excelsior Pass app is verifying your data in real time so it would be easy for NYS to make a verification app for state/county people that hits that same API. I think you guys are going a little overboard on the “well what if’s” here. Between the risk of getting caught and the technical know how to create a fake I’m sure the vast majority of anti-vax Bills fans are just going to stay home. Will some people get away with it? Sure, just like some people get away with bringing a little too much booze across from duty free, but the risk vs reward thing will stop the majority. ---

This. I’m not signing up for any app, I have a picture of my card on my phone and that’s it. If I go somewhere that needs proof and they accept that picture, cool. If they need the stupid piece of paper, I’ll bring it if it’s really a place I want to be at it, but if it’s more than that…fuck that shit I’ll stay home. I’ve turned around a few places already that wanted excelsior or nothing else. It is what it is. ---

That’s a weird hill to make a stand on but you do you. I got the app because it’s easier than keeping that piece of paper on me that’s going to get lost/destroyed. I stopped giving a shit about tracking because I carry around a little always on GPS enabled device with a camera and microphone everywhere I go. If the government wants to know where I am or where I’ve been, they already know. I get if you want to make a stand against the whole “SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS” thing and refuse to go anywhere that requires it, but not sure why you’d show the papers but not the app that just makes showing the papers more convenient for you. ---

Not that I can offer anything related to venues. I did leave my 1st restaraunt. I walked farther to be told I needed a mask than the bar was from the greeter. If they had one to give me, I would have worn it for all 4 steps. They did not, so I did the DB pull up my t-shirt thing and got a hard no, so I left. If a restaraunt wants me to wear one per local mandate ill do it, but they should have some. Chillies was across the parking lot and gave no Fs. MassHoles are weird. ---

Here’s what I dont get… Normally it would seem that the slightest global disturbance would cause at least some downturn in the economy. Jobs lost, stocks stagnant, etc. But here we are with prices skyrocketing, lead times lengthening, jobs unable to be filled and were just humming along at a million miles an hour. In normal times a restaurant would be mortified to lose a customer like @drvnkd over something so trivial. Is that how we felt about the housing market before 2008? I feel like I’m watching the Big Short over and over… ---

Right now, I don’t think restaurants really care about the small percentage that is going to walk out over a mask requirement. Every place I’ve been to eat for the past several months has staffing shortages and long waits for food/tables/service. When you can’t keep up with the customers you have letting one walk away over a mask is not really a problem. ---

Yea but how is that profitable? Food prices are way up and its not like their leases or other overhead have gone done while they serve less customers. ---

My work sent out the message to update your vax status. Either no. Or yes, plus upload proof. The option to “prefer not to answer” is now gone. They havent said yet what will happen if you are not. I know there are a few that did not, im curious what happens. Dan ---

That blows. I know guys that cannot be quickly replaced that say they will quit before getting forced into the shot. Not anti-vaxers at all. Just anti-mandaters. You cannot get anyone off the street that knows how to make shit work until they have had a year or 4 of experience and mentorship. I am definitely not a target demographic for restaurants. Had they given me a mask i would have sat at the bar tying to keep my total bill less than $35 and end up with 2 beers i have never had before. ---

Back to 100% masks at work this past week. Seems like a proactive measure as I was on travel for the prior two weeks. All of the cities I ended up in over the last 2 years seem like hot spots, so I’m pretty glad I survived. Are there any PTSD lawsuits yet? ![Screenshot_20211007-212605_Instagram](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/9/1/917de2da8e1b651df5280942215eb87df40d818a.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20211007-212535_Instagram](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/8/b/8bb3246838a9c42a691553ce36688e818494185c.jpeg) ---
