[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are they doing this? The vax mandate was great[/quote]

Because it sucks.  And people who are vaccinated are going out of their way to eat in Virginia because they don’t like the mandates.  Lots of lost business and headaches for the restaurant owners.  [/quote]

We are vaccinated DC residents.  Drove to Georgetown on Saturday for dinner.  Since it was the first time eating indoors since Omicron, we forgot about the vax mandate and one of our guests didn't have proof of vaccination.  Got in the car and drove to VA for dinner.  I imagine we are not the only family that has done this.

When we were booking our ski vacation, there were two places we had to take off our list because they didn't allow snowboarders. Even though only one of the eight people in our group snowboards.  This is a good analogy for vaccine mandates, especially if you have tourists coming from states with lower vaccination rates. All it takes is for one member of the group to no be vaccinated, and DC restaurants would lose the business of the entire group.

I knew the Mayor was going to drop the vaccine mandate before the tourism season kicked off with the cherry blossom festival, or risk losing all of that tourism money to Virginia and Maryland.[/quote]

Great now they just have to fix Metro or else tourism season is going to be a huge mess, unrelated to Covid![/quote]
