However, the restrictions of some people do not stop and they travel to the “Acropolis” of Vilnius from the same morning, where they are greeted at the main entrance by two security guards who scan the QR codes of the passports of opportunity. The inspection is not carried out outdoors, but indoors, right at the entrance. It’s true, around 9pm in the morning there weren’t many people wanting to enter the mall.
The situation is the same near Kaunas “Akropolis”. The revolving door to the mall shuts down and visitors head through the nearby entrance. Here, three employees scan opportunity passports over the phone. As more traffic comes in, there is a small queue at the entrance, but it doesn’t take long to dissolve, and most people prepare phones with a passport or paper versions ahead of time.
At the time, customers at the Senukai shopping center in Vilnius, Ukmergės St., were being inspected before entering.
This document is also checked at the entrances of other larger outlets and supermarkets, and those without a passport are not allowed to enter.
“The people who verify the opportunity passports are ready to indicate the nearest store that does not need an opportunity passport,” said Rasa Aukštuolytė, Maxima’s public relations representative.
Many fear having to queue, but R.Aukštuolytė assured that seeing a greater flow of people he will respond.
“More employees will come, and during peak hours or when there is a larger queue outside, two employees will go through the documents at the door,” Lietuvos Rytas told television.
According to the director of the Lithuanian Association of Business Companies, Rūta Vainienė, traders are more concerned not only with queues, but also with conflicts.
“We know very well that even the masks cause conflict situations, so the masks will now be just rings. Maybe the inspection will go smoothly, maybe the document should be inspected if there are suspicions about the authenticity of the document, if it has not been forged, ”said R. Vainienė about what can bother buyers.
Where only passport holders have access, wearing masks and keeping distances is just a recommendation.
However, Dominykas Mertinas, the head of the Akropolis Group communication department, is for the portal lrytas.lt He stated, however, that many people entering the mall do not remove their masks and adhere to security.
There were no problems
Donatas Alešiūnas, a 30-year-old dentist who has been shopping at the Maxima store on Mindaugo Street in Vilnius on Monday morning, told BNS that checking passports is the most effective way to handle a pandemic so far.
“If someone comes up with a better way to handle it all, let him offer himself, don’t just cry,” the man said.
“I really had no problem, I have a checked passport at work, it is stored on the phone. Also, yesterday I received a message from Maxima, I knew it would have to be delivered here today,” said Irina Gerasimčik, 40, who works in college.
He said he was confident the new restrictions would encourage more people to get vaccinated against the coronavirus: “The sooner everyone gets vaccinated, the faster that nonsense will end.”
Jadvyga, an 83-year-old retiree who entered Kaunas “Akropolis”, was concerned that her daughter and girlfriend would not be able to go to supermarkets now, and the order itself was not that convenient, but she hoped it would help overcome the pandemic. . .
“Just to help … Maybe it’s good, a lot of illnesses, a lot of deaths, maybe it’s good that he tightens,” said the woman.
To satisfy not all
A man who did not have a passport was not allowed to enter Mindaugas “Maxima” in Vilnius, so he returned to the car in return. The man did not want to speak to BNS.
Retired Janina Karmaza was not admitted to the Vilnius store.
“I didn’t go to the store, I didn’t let them in,” said the 80-year-old woman, “I forgot my passport at home, I’m going to pick it up.”
He said he thought these measures were redundant.
“It seems to me that the person himself knows that if he is sick, he has nowhere to go and is not needed. If I’m sick, I don’t go anywhere, I think others do the same, ”said J. Karzmaza.
“It just came to our attention then. (Beprotnamis – BNS)” – he resented Kastytis, 55, who had not been vaccinated and was not allowed to enter Kaunas “Akropolis”, calling the order stupid.
“How many stores will go bankrupt if everyone is questioned this way? Grandpa will come to buy milk and what? He won’t let me in!” He said.
