Thats how I look at this, my area has mask mandates and vax pass mandates. Some businesses are what I call collaborators. Plenty of signage and gung ho enforcement, making it clear that the business supports mandates. Fuck them, they probably collected Cerb and EI while I was working twice as hard dealing with covid regulations.
The other category is complyers. I can't blame someone for doing what is necessary to continue earning an income. Several restaurants in my area told the government to eff off, and got slapped with fines, and court ordered closures. Only able to re open once compliance was demonstrated.
I don't need restaurants, they need me and although I've mostly broken the habit of paying others to cook for me, I won't be spending my money at the business of a collaborator if I can help it
