The retail trade has complained of an increasing number of attacks on employees when checking corona vaccination certificates. "Employees are insulted, spat on and also aggressively physically attacked", said the chief executive of the industry association HDE, Stefan Genth, the news portal T-Online according to the Sunday report. “Incidents of this kind are unbearable." Clear boundaries should be set for people who behave in such a ruthless manner. With the control of the mask requirement and 2G rules, retailers are taking on state tasks. "This must not become permanent. This is a massive overload of the companies."
The association advocates abolishing or at least adapting the 2G rule for access only for vaccinated and recovered people in retail. "It is incomprehensible why random checks are sufficient in the subway, where people stand side by side, while when shopping, where distances are maintained and the length of stay is shorter, every single customer has to be checked"said Genth. One must be allowed to go over to random checks. He also reiterated the demand for a legal obligation to vaccinate. (dpa)
