https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/A-Canadian-restaurant-was-closed-after-it-16791608.phpThe Granary Kitchen, a popular neighborhood restaurant in the city of Red Deer in Alberta, Canada, is back open to indoor dining this week after health officials shuttered it for several days after inspectors discovered that the restaurant was allowing patrons to enter who, instead of showing proof of vaccination, shared pictures of dogs.
After getting a tip that patrons were submitting pictures of pooches instead of the required documents, health inspectors sent two separate "test shoppers" to check. In both cases, "staff used a tablet to make it appear as if they were scanning a QR code when in fact the staff member was presented with a photograph of a dog," Alberta health officials said in an order on Friday in which it shut down the indoor dining area.
The restaurant reopened on Monday, after the owner met with health officials and showed he had complied with the order by submitting a written plan to enforce the rules and training staff on them, health officials told The Washington Post.
The Granary Kitchen's Facebook page explained the closure, calling it "an unfortunate circumstance" involving an "underage hostess" and said it would reopen after retraining staff. "We would like to remind everyone of the tremendous pressure being placed on front staff, and please remember to be kind," the post read. An email to the owner of the restaurant requesting comment was not immediately returned.
