I read this piece in Focus today, and will relate it in a simplified version.
Germany has the 3G rule (meaning you operate a business and the customers must be either vaxed-up, recovered in the past three months, or tested in the past 24 hours).
So off in Mühlheim, a small town between Frankfurt and Hanau....there was this haircutter shop.
The gal running it....kept the front-door locked. You only got entry if you had an appointment (thus presenting your evidence of being 3G upon entry).
So one day in the past week....the town inspector (Ornungsamt) came to the door. He wanted to inspect the haircutter and the customer.
The haircutter said 'fine'.....but then said show us your 3G situation before I open the locked door.
Well....he didn't want to do that.
You can ask forty-odd questions, but generally.....you don't ever challenge an inspector or audit guy. In some way, this whole Covid thing has challenged people to question the landscape around them.
This 'discussion' must have gone on for a number of minutes, and the customer readily agreed (apparently) with the haircutter....just show us the 3G situation.
So at some point, with the inspector's ID apparent that he was a legit inspector....the customer went up to the window and showed the vax card. The audit guy just never wanted to go the extra step to prove himself 3G compliant.
You can laugh over the whole ban-rule process, but it's reached a level where people are now thinking over each step of the process and they might ask the authorities to comply as well.
