I went into a large company a few weeks ago. Have a client there. The Karen at the front desk demands to see my vaccine card. I tell her I don’t have it with me because I’m never asked for it. She says she can’t let me in because of “policy.” I told her I was never informed of the policy. Call my client and he meets me in the lobby, he’s furious. Tells her to let me in. She asks me to wear a mask. I say I will if she has one. Ope! She doesn’t! My client tells me to follow him. We have our meeting, most of which was laughing about the audacity of that woman.
I’m not done. After my meeting, I call the state attorney’s office and my state legislator who both sent letters to the company threatening legal action if that continues. Went back in today and was greeted with a pleasant smile and hello by the same Karen.
Fight back.
I have been sending vaxed subcontractors to my clients requiring credentials to enter. I’m rethinking my tact. I may adopt your approach in the future and just go myself. I hate to lose business but if this is the way it’s going to go I’d rather replace that work than play along.
