The initiative was taken by a local restaurateur.
Ural restaurateur Evgeny Uryupin made a proposal to introduce a QR-code system for the purchase of alcohol in the Sverdlovsk region. The restaurant owner is outraged by coronavirus restrictions in establishments and their absence in stores.
On his Instagram page, Uryupin suggested that such a measure would be much more effective than codes in catering.
After that, the Sverdlovsk authorities spoke. Operstab is ready to consider such an initiative, the authorities noted that they are monitoring any changes in the market and are ready to discuss such a step with representatives of the business community.
The entrepreneurs themselves were shocked by such an initiative.
According to the portal e1.ru grocery store owners are confident that vaccination certificates in alcohol supermarkets will complicate life and create a queue.
Some businessmen were tougher in their assessment: Uryupin simply “gave a pig to his colleagues.”
Many are sure that not only large supermarkets will suffer, but also small points. Such proposals were associated with the desire of the restaurateur to oblige citizens to get vaccinated faster.
“We still have conflicts because of masks, and you are now offering to check QR codes?”, businessmen are outraged.
At the same time, Russians will figure out how to get alcohol without a QR code – their relatives will start buying, couriers will work.
The owners of alcohol markets advised the authorities to pay attention to public transport, where all the rules are most often violated.
As Topnews wrote earlier, insiders report that in Russia in 2022, QR codes may be introduced to enter public transport, shops and cafes.
Also, mandatory vaccination against coronavirus will be checked at the entrance to the aircraft.
