A Kelowna restaurant manager is frustrated after three young men allegedly vandalized her restaurant after being refused entry.

Wings Tap and Grill in the Rutland neighbourhood was spray-painted with obscene drawings after three young men were denied entry just after 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 14.

According to manager Michele Saraceni, three young men tried to use the same screenshot of a vaccine passport香蕉视频直播檚 QR code to gain entry to the restaurant. When the hostess asked for identification, they claimed to be underage and said they didn香蕉视频直播檛 need to show identification. One of the men also admitted to being drunk.

That香蕉视频直播檚 when Saraceni stepped in and denied them entry. 香蕉视频直播淭hat香蕉视频直播檚 when I told them they香蕉视频直播檙e really not coming in here. I can香蕉视频直播檛 have underaged drinkers in the establishment,香蕉视频直播� she said.

But things took a turn from there. The three men became aggressive, saying Canada is a free country and they could do whatever they want. They also threatened to 香蕉视频直播渟hank香蕉视频直播� Saraceni and the hostess, along with other obscenities. The restaurant windows were tagged two hours later. The graffiti has since been scrubbed off.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 just frustrated. We have a really solid group of people who work here and come here who look out for each other, so we香蕉视频直播檙e safe and protected that way. But we shouldn香蕉视频直播檛 have to worry about stuff like that,香蕉视频直播� said Saraceni.

Saraceni also said that the latest round of public health restrictions have been difficult for her and her staff. They are doing everything that they can to keep staff employed and everyone safe, and have been following public health orders since the pandemic started.

When asked whether or not she will press charges, Saraceni said she doesn香蕉视频直播檛 know.

香蕉视频直播淚 would like to see something happen, but everyone keeps saying they will get a slap on the wrist because they are minors,香蕉视频直播� said Saraceni.
