The customer did not approve of showing his proof of vaccination, which was required beginning that day. It's unnerving and to see my staff having to deal with this, this was our biggest fear from the beginning," Mahfouz said. Mahfouz owns Benny's All Day restaurant in Rockland, just east of Ottawa. The server, Julie Pratt, has worked at the restaurant for seven years and knew the customer well, serving him many times. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson has urged people to be respectful of those young people working in industries that require them to ask for vaccination proof.
