Ok, I'm going to say it...may not be popular, but with this and what I'm seeing on some of my group pages, I'm getting tired of what I perceive to be hypocrisy from some of us who are not jabbed. I suspect the Applebee's management had asked these people for their "proof" and were refused, thus the cops showing up in force, but that's not confirmed here, just my suspicion. Corporate sets the rules and the local manager isn't going to lose his job over this. So given that,
I'm not jabbed, don't intend to be either. Yet at the same time, I don't go around "forcing" employees into uncomfortable situations where there exists the possibility of a business owner losing their license to operate if they don't deny me service. A conservative should be respecting private property rights of being able to establish requirements for service.
If all those people being arrested have chosen not to comply with jab/shot mandates, they don't get to have it both ways and still be able to patronize private establishments who are in "compliance" with the rules of their license as it relates to requirements for service. Once you are asked to leave, that's it, leave. Respect for each other's position needs to be offered and if a business chooses to enforce and goes down, well, they chose.
I don't go out looking for confrontation...if a business "requires" a mask to patronize, I do. It's an inconvenience, annoying, some say a "sign of submission", but the business owner is in a tough spot as well. How about we find a way to work with these folks and unite against this tyranny instead of putting them between a rock and hard place?
However, any business that enforces the rule of "vaxx passport" won't see me darken their door.
