At the entrance, a test to see what tomorrow will bring. “Your phone, please. »Bad luck, the client’s TousAntiCovid application is not up to date (even if he has his health pass ). In a few seconds, the verification is made on that of another. A green sesame is displayed with name, first name and date of birth, regardless of whether the pass results from a vaccine or a PCR (or antigen) test of less than 48 hours. The paper card with the QR code also does the trick. “I have already tested with a few customers the day after the announcements,” assures Bruno Clément, owner of the Moulins Bleus in Thionville. They take it pretty well. Most have already been to Luxembourg where there are controls, or they are lost, in which case, you just need to be an educator. I still prefer that to a reminder book which takes a lot of time and logistics. “
In Florange, Sébastien Villemin, co-manager of Villa Castellino, fears above all a loss of customers. “In addition for us it is an insoluble problem. At the entrance you have to verify the identities of each one, we cannot take personnel for that. If out of a group of 6 people, one does not have her pass, we will have to refuse her, which will certainly make us lose the whole table. “That being said, the restaurateur suggests that” the idea of the sanitary pass is good but to impose it on the 1is August is very short, especially for those who would like to be vaccinated now ”.

“We have no right to the wrong note”
Gwladys Muller, who opened the pizzeria on 346 at the beginning of July, rue de Paris in Thionville. “With 20 seats indoors and 20 outdoors, that’s a lot of controls for a small family team like ours. And then we are not immune to the rejected people causing problems … We have just started. We are not entitled to the wrong note. “In any case,” customers will have to arm themselves with patience. For us, who are only applying the law, we risk a € 45,000 fine and administrative closure in the event of non-compliance. “
Alain and Brigitte Jominet, from Meals on Wheels to Jo experienced this announcement “like a blow of the club. “Here too,” the fear of losing customers, that antivaccines boycott us. It might have been necessary to differentiate indoors and on the terrace, given that the risk is almost zero outdoors, ”says Brigitte. “In addition to the service and the kitchen, we will have to police. And the bouncer, half jokes Alain. There is a form of obligation to be vaccinated too, this is our case. I didn’t want to and yet I got vaccinated anyway. You can’t ask customers to be if you’re not. ”
A client arrives. ” How it will go ? I don’t want to get tested so I can come and go. I am not vaccinated because I had the Covid and I have to wait before having my dose… ”A problem which could be regular.
