Made a dentist appointment, he said you need to have a covid test come back negative before he can do any work (routine cleaning and maybe one cavity filling).
I asked why, he said it was just policy.
I said it's my policy to never get a test when I am not feeling sick because the inaccuracy of the tests and I didn't want to add to the numbers and keep up the fear. I told him I would have to find another practice that didn't have such policies. (Been with this practice for about 12 years now).
When I said that he backtracked saying, "Well I can make an exception in your case as it's just a routine cleaning."
Long story short, stick up for your principles, find other people willing to do business with you and when you threaten to leave either
A) They don't care, so screw them or
B) They will backtrack on their policies in fear of losing longstanding customers.
Most business owners are just worried about losing their business/practice from tyrannical governors and don't want to make these policies, those that do, they can go bankrupt for all I care.
