There is no shortage of grumbling from insiders, forced to also act as “sheriffs” before serving customers
UDINE. The era of the green pass has begun, even in the premises of Udine. On the morning of Friday 6 August, those who wanted to enjoy coffee and croissants inside the bars had to show the green certification to prove that they were vaccinated at Covid 19, that they had been cured for no more than six months or that they were in possession of a tampon. negative made in the previous 48 hours.
There is no shortage of grumbling from insiders, who are also forced to act as “sheriffs” before serving customers. “For the umpteenth time they have downloaded all the work on us, and it is not the first time.” This is a concern that is most popular in the clubs in the center, where, thanks to the beautiful day, most of the customers preferred to sit outside or have a coffee standing up at the counter.
“Unfortunately there is a risk of losing some customers, because not everyone wants to get vaccinated, not everyone has a green pass and not everyone wants to show it to you. We’ll see what happens on the first rainy day ».
This is the testimony of a barmaid in via Sarpi, Marcella Migai, who adapted to the new provisions but without enthusiasm. Diversified the reactions of the customers: the most controversial ones stay outside the bars, but warn the managers not to dare to ask for a green pass and an identity document: “We go into the penalty”, they hiss with a threatening tone.
Those more queuing already enter with the mobile phone in hand and show the QR code for the green light. «I don’t know how we will do it at aperitif time, when the influxes will be more intense – admits an operator from Piazza San Giacomo -. It will be difficult to keep up with everything ». For now, police checks have not been seen in the center, it being understood that with a beautiful sunny day there are very few people who sit inside the premises.
And whoever does it remains standing, in front of the counter, observing what happens around them and observing the dynamics of the first day with the obligation of the green pass.
