- kjakm 6y agoThat's insane! Why would they do that? And why would people hand that info over?
- oarsinsync 6y agoYou're not you when you're hungry.
- gambiting 6y agoBecause it's the law and majority of people obey the law. You'll get an odd person who refuses, but that's fine, they can leave if they don't want to comply. Unless majority refuses to comply, nothing will change.

- ganstyles 6y agoThere's a pandemic happening right now, so I think they're doing it to track where people go and how things might be spreading. It's really helpful for analysis. I think people are handing info over because it's required to get one's order.
- pjc50 6y agoBecause getting told when you were eating at the same restaurant as someone with a contagious disease could be life-or-death information? (Mind you, I've no intention of going to restaurants until the infection rate is much lower!)
- thoraway1010 6y agoWhy not just use the double blind google / apple tech for this? The govt requiring this level of data seems unnecessary.
- thomaslord 6y agoTo my knowledge there's no implementation of that tech. I think it's definitely not an ideal system to have it be all pen and paper, but there isn't a clear "just turn it on" solution they're ignoring here either.
- dkdk8283 6y agoI’ll just put down fake info.
- catalogia 6y agoWhat information are they requiring? Not home address. Name and phone number I suppose?
- eplanit 6y agoAre they checking drivers licenses? I'd give fake info. Rusty Shackleford is here to get some breakfast.
- valuearb 6y agoSo you don’t want to know if you are exposed to the virus?
- bzb3 6y agoIf the price is giving my personal data to restaurants, personally no.
- deelowe 6y agoAs others have pointed out, this is so businesses can inform you if you've been exposed.
- 0xffff2 6y agoAnd personally I don't feel the benefit of giving out that much information (in such an uncontrolled manner) is worth it, so I would probably opt out. Then again, you're not going to see my face in any restaurant at all for the foreseeable future so I don't have to provide fake info to opt out.
- catalogia 6y ago> Are they checking drivers licenses? They are not.
