At one point people couldn't even go to a sporting event without one. Now it's, "Just kidding.". Idiots
I wasn’t allowed to eat in the food court at the mall with my daughter and we both had ours.
But because I don’t carry my government issued ID with me at all times (I have my vaccination stuff in my iOS wallet and my daughters in a PDF and pay for shit using my watch) the security guards wouldn’t let us sit down to eat.
It was perfectly fine for us to sit on a bench in the mall and eat though. It was perfectly fine for us to stand in line to buy food, too.
Just not good enough to present a vaccination card without a government issued photo ID to sit in the food court. I don’t know how the security guards expected me to have a government issued photo ID for my daughter though, maybe that was just a requirement for people 18+
So ridiculous.
So we are just making shit up now?
I swear you people forget that we all lived through this shit too. It wasn't that long ago.
Are you like a paid user to shill bullshit? Or are yo undoing it for free?
