Unvaccinated guests can still dine outside, but only vaccinated diners may eat inside restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-08-09\/nyc-vaccine-mandate-puts-enforcement-on-restaurants-waiters-bartenders\">reported<\/a> that&nbsp;Dhamaka, a new Indian restaurant on the Lower East Side, is expecting to receive cancellations when the vaccine mandate takes effect. The restaurant is also anticipating having to deal with upset customers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are going to have special training on how to say \u2018no,\u2019\u201d front-of-house lead Tina Dolker told Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve dealt with intoxicated people, irrational people,\u201d Scott Gerber, who runs popular eateries including Mr. Purple&nbsp;and the&nbsp;Campbell,&nbsp;told Bloomberg.&nbsp;\u201cOur people are skilled at de-escalating problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Union Square Hospitality Group LLC also expects to have to deal with the same issue of angry customers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been working on de-escalation techniques for months,\u201d Danny Meyer, the group\u2019s chief executive officer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-08-09\/nyc-vaccine-mandate-puts-enforcement-on-restaurants-waiters-bartenders\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Some restaurant owners even said they cannot picture themselves asking for proof of vaccination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just don\u2019t see myself doing that, asking for proof,\u201d Michael Musto, owner of the Cargo Cafe in Staten Island, <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2021\/08\/08\/new-york-city-proof-of-vaccination-rules-businesses-concern-delta-variant\/\">told<\/a> Fortune, adding, \u201cDo I have to turn my customers away? Do I have to turn business away?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not every restaurant in the city can afford to hire security to handle confrontations over vaccine status. However, some restaurants pointed out that checking vaccinations cards could be similar to checking IDs for alcohol.<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 56% of New Yorkers are fully vaccinated as of Monday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.nyc.gov\/site\/doh\/covid\/covid-19-data-vaccines.page\">according<\/a> to city figures.<\/p>\n<p>The vaccine mandate, which was crafted to begin with the start of the new school year, will use New York City\u2019s new app, the state\u2019s Excelsior app, or a paper vaccination card to verify vaccination status. There are concerns that the paper vaccination cards can be easily forged, however.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden mandated vaccines for all federal workers and contractors, as did New York City and California. Major companies have also led the way on vaccine mandates, with behemoths like Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Delta airlines also mandating vaccination for their employees.<\/p>\n<p>Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said last month that there will be no federal mandate for Americans to get a coronavirus vaccine.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
