Are they checking drivers licenses? I'd give fake info. Rusty Shackleford is here to get some breakfast.
So you don’t want to know if you are exposed to the virus?
If the price is giving my personal data to restaurants, personally no.
As others have pointed out, this is so businesses can inform you if you've been exposed.
And personally I don't feel the benefit of giving out that much information (in such an uncontrolled manner) is worth it, so I would probably opt out. Then again, you're not going to see my face in any restaurant at all for the foreseeable future so I don't have to provide fake info to opt out.
> Are they checking drivers licenses?
They are not.
What information are they requiring? Not home address. Name and phone number I suppose?
That's insane! Why would they do that? And why would people hand that info over?
You're not you when you're hungry.
Because it's the law and majority of people obey the law. You'll get an odd person who refuses, but that's fine, they can leave if they don't want to comply. Unless majority refuses to comply, nothing will change.
There's a pandemic happening right now, so I think they're doing it to track where people go and how things might be spreading. It's really helpful for analysis. I think people are handing info over because it's required to get one's order.
Because getting told when you were eating at the same restaurant as someone with a contagious disease could be life-or-death information?
(Mind you, I've no intention of going to restaurants until the infection rate is much lower!)
Why not just use the double blind google / apple tech for this? The govt requiring this level of data seems unnecessary.
To my knowledge there's no implementation of that tech. I think it's definitely not an ideal system to have it be all pen and paper, but there isn't a clear "just turn it on" solution they're ignoring here either.
