from Irish Liquor Lawyer: “Under Chicago’s new mandates, all restaurant and bar owners must ensure patrons over 5 years old provide proof of vaccination and for those 16+ they must present valid ids. Restaurants that do not obey these orders will be subject to fines. Chicago’s new mandates require that the Hospitality industry play the role of police and enforce laws, and if you don’t, you will pay the price. Bars and restaurants are put into a difficult place of becoming invasive to customers and potentially driving them away and trying to make judgments that depending on how they are made, may either lead to gravely offend customers or being fined by the city…Deputizing the restaurant owner and requiring them to enforce mandates put them in difficult predicaments.”
