As the proof of vaccination mandate takes effect in Los Angeles County, security guards are helping business owners with the verification process. Businesses face up to $1,000 per violation if they fail to check a customer’s vaccination status.

Taking Employees Out Of The Mix. Business owners say they dread having their employees ask customers for vaccination proof. With rude and sometimes violent behavior against workers on the rise, vaccine mandates will make things worse.

Security guards are stationed at entrances. Depending on the business’ needs, they can wear casual attire as a means to help reduce tension. If a patron tries to enter a restaurant, for example, without proof of vaccination, the guard can politely explain their options–eat outdoors (if available) or order food to go. If the customer becomes hostile, the guard is trained on how to calm the individual or when necessary, remove him or her from the property.

There are all sorts of reasons why bad behavior is increasing. Some experts say that people almost feel entitled to be rude to people who they see as not in a position of power (i.e., waiters, salespeople). That attitude changes when there is a security guard present.
