I rarely eat at fast food burger places. Gross. My husband has Parkinson's and fell and broke his leg 4 months ago. Now uses a walker.

Want to know how difficult and time consuming it is for him to get out of the car, open a door, and walk into a restaurant? FAST food?

He is vaccinated but I am not. Ok, HE can (???) come inside, but YOU can't? Go to the drive window and eat in parking lot. Too much trouble to even bother eating inside.

Edit: I can grill a much better burger than any of these places.

Read the link--you can all go inside Shake Shack. OP is selling fear.

You can’t go into any of these restaurants though. https://www.ushgnyc.com/restaurants/

I flat out reject the notion that anyone would be afraid of not being allowed in to a Shake Shack.

But that's not the subject here is it? OP has loudly claimed in the subject line it is SHAKE SHACK that is requiring vaccine proof. Totally false.

Are you so partisan on the OP's side that you cannot admit his/her post is, right now, a lie?

Shake Shack is the only nationally known restaurant of the group and would stoke the most outrage with FAKE NEWS. Even the article linked didn't use Shake Shack in the title. Article clearly states it does not apply to Shake Shack.

If we want to discuss the requirements of the other restaurants under this corporation, maybe OP should change the title or put up another thread that is factual.

And you know what I meant--selling fear and "oh noes" to the "freedom" crowd that is now outraged that they can't go and get their burger. Clutching at pearls for no reason, because no such requirement exists.

Shake shack owns this restaurant group. I think you’re focusing on the wrong thing, personally. I can go to shake shack if I want to but absolutely won’t support them considering this policy for their restaurant group.

They won't have a problem with getting diners at upscale restaurants. That demographic jumped the lines when the vaccines became available. The low-income people are down around 15% for vaccination rate. But they have internet accounts so they can make a lot of noise about people shouldn't get vaccines or ban the unvaccinated. Maybe, their next crusade is to come down on restaurants that don't serve people without shoes or shirts. Not complying with safety guidance is bad for business.

Ok, so Shake Shack is safe for the 'unvaccinated.' I stand corrected.

Meanwhile, people have to quit their jobs, are barred from hundreds of universities, and many businesses because they have chosen not to get vaccinated. It's worse in Europe. So this isn't about the 'freedom crowd' whatever that is, or pearl clutching. These are very real issues for people, including members of my family.

I guess scaring people to further an agenda works better than making a thread based on facts. That's the anti-vaxx MO. Wash, rinse, repeat.
