Biggest concern is abuse of employees, says Hospitality Saskatchewan as vaccine passport system begins

“It really does seem to be really slick and easy to use,” Bence told the Greg Morgan Morning Show on Friday.

“The challenges could be that for venues that have multiple entrances, how is that traffic flow going to be managed so that everybody has an opportunity to safely show their identification?”

The main concern for business owners is how to deal with customers who do not follow the rules. He has heard many stories from the last few days of front-of-house staff, who are usually young, getting “blasted by people.”

Those workers don’t put up with the abuse for long and often quit.

“They just say, ‘This is not worth it.’ And we’re already in a situation in which it’s really difficult to find staff. We just need people to be patient and be kind. Don’t be a jerk,” Bence said.

Bence has known of some establishments that have required all their staff to be fully vaccinated. He believes that can make a business more attractive to customers, employers and employees because in this industry, “it’s all about confidence.”

“I mean, I’d love to know that,” he said.

“We need to get our swagger back a little bit … We’re not going to go around COVID or over it or under it, but we’ve got to go straight through it and we can do it safely.”
