The rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine mandate across New York City restaurants Tuesday has sparked an instant backlash, with business owners branding the move 'segregation' and confused customers finding themselves turned away from eateries.
Mayor Bill de Blasio's controversial 'Key to NYC' scheme officially kicked off August 17, marking the US's strictest rule to date which separates the vaccinated and the unvaccinated in day-to-day life.
And it is restaurant servers and bar staff who must be the public enforcers of the mayor's new mandate.

Mary Josephine Generoso, manager of pastry shop and diner Pasticceria Rocco in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, told DailyMail.com the city is 'segregating people' with its new proof of vaccination requirement and warned it is a step back in time before the civil rights movement.
'It's discriminatory - the mayor and the city of New York is asking us to segregate based on vaccine status,' she said.
'To put up a sign saying only vaccinated people can enter is segregating people.
'It would be like changing the words vaccinated and unvaccinated to black and white, or Muslim and Catholic, or gay or heterosexual.
'[De Blasio] is segregating people - it's the same as him saying you can't let a gay person in your business.'

Q: Do you have to show proof of vaccination to use mass transit in NYC...?
(crickets)
Can’t wait to witness the scene when the unvaccinated Le Bron James and his equally unvaccinate posse show up at some posh NYC resteraunt and demand service.
No.
Keep it up and the only restaurants open in New York City are national chains sit-down restaurants and fast-food restaurants. Ouch.
It’s actually somewhat reassuring that this backlash is happening in NYC.
So cramming the unvaxxed on mass transpo is totally cool!
CoupFlu has NEVER been about public health.
Thanks for that, BTW!
Also not on that list: Cabs.
Mass city wide decline to enforce is the only answer. The people must demand change.
Soon all restaurants will be Taco Bell
Hmmmm. So billy boy is okay with the 72% or so of AAs in nyc not being vaccinated and denied services? No vax no garbage pick up? No vax no CON-ED? No vax no cell service? No vax no groceries?
Enjoy NY you voted for this.
They won't be denied services, only whites. Sorry, that's the deal.
Indeed they did. And a lot of the people that voted for De Blasio voted for him because of his marriage to a black woman. Surely they won’t mind being discriminated against!
yep
it is refreshing that so many people can make the proper connection back to segregation, and that we have totally accurate memes with the exact same type of photos today of what went on prior.
I thought the vaxed were superspreaders . . . just what kind of new plandemic will emerge from their congregating with each other.
How about they 100% don’t comply with Fuhrer Wilhelm’s mandate.
Where did I put my WP card?
You’re OK , you’re OK , you’re Not OK so go around to the side door OK ,LOL
