Every gym I've ever been a member of requires you to validate your ID. You either swipe your membership card (which has your personal information tied to it), or provide your license to get into the gym. If you can't provide either, they aren't letting you in the door.
Every restaurant in the US is already supposed to validate your ID when you order an alcoholic drink. Bars won't even let you in the door without showing an ID.
I don't think anyone is happy this is required, but when people that are unvaccinated decide to put others at risk because they don't want to be inconvenienced, this is what happens.
- mikecoles 5y agoNo, this is what happens when politicians see an opportunity to get on a soapbox. What bars won't let you walk in without showing an ID? Maybe a college town, but it is rare elsewhere.
- lancesells 5y agoAny bars with a doorman are usually checking ID where I live.
- tw04 5y agoPretty much any bar in a downtown area of a major metro on the weekends has a bouncer at the door. There’s no planet on which the bartenders could keep up if they had to check everyone’s ID. I suppose you may find the one off who doesn’t but their liquor license won’t last long.
- jwilber 5y agoI lived in Arizona for two years, Michigan for one year, New York for three years, Washington state for two years, California for the rest of my life. Liberal cities, conservative cities, and towns with and without colleges. Have visited a bar in well over thirty different states. The only time I’ve been let into a bar without showing ID was in New York City. “Rare.”
- tw04 5y agoI’m sorry I just don’t buy that. Every bar in old town Scottsdale cards. Most of the places I’ve been in Detroit do. San Fran, can you name one that doesn’t? You aren’t getting into the madrone without an ID unless you’re about 50.
- jwilber 5y agoI’m agreeing with you. “ The only time I’ve been let into a bar without showing ID…”
