I watch a lot of CNBC and it seems the commercial for this group runs every other break. If you haven't seen it, safety experts such as Lady Gaga, Robert Dinero, and Jennifer Lopez tout how business having this seal will make us all "feel safe" going back to doing the things we love. Anyone with one functioning brain cell can see this is a scam to get business to pay for a worthless sticker. Here is the pricing structure from their website:https://www.wellcertified.com/health-safety/pricing

Small business
$2,730 USD
Small businesses with less than 50 employees and less than $10 million in revenue.

Standard
$4,200 USD
Individual spaces/buildings not yet registered to pursue WELL Certification or subscribed in the WELL Portfolio program.

Bulk pricing is available for locations having a single owner and applying streamlined documentation.

High-volume, multi-use
$12,600 USD
High-volume locations are designed to accommodate more than 10,000 people daily and provide four or more distinct uses, such as retail, dining, entertainment, residential, lodging, offices, etc.

Examples: stadiums, large hotel complexes, airports and shopping centers.

Bulk pricing
*$400 USD
Multiple locations with a single owner and payer qualify for pricing efficiencies. This pathway requires that all locations apply streamlined and consolidated documentation and undergo review together.

At least someone is profiting from the pandemic I guess...

If I see that sticker I’ll turn around and go somewhere else: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txWzuDAfGjI

Total scam.

I did not know that they are safety experts.

I learn something new every day.

$$$ + Hollywood + Meaningless "seal" = Bullshit.

I've posted before about how most Certifications in my business and other businesses are actually just attendance certificates and nothing more. I know as I have around 10 Professional Certifications that are absolutely nothing more than attendance certificates.

This thread's scam certification is even better. You don't even have to attend to get it, just send money.

When I saw the celebs supporting this I knew it was CRAP!!

Yeah, “F” that whole steaming pile of commie crap. I’ll keep my eye out for the seal and do my best to not patronize the establishments that feel the need to virtue signal.

This is just the first stage. These will be the first establishments that will require you to show your vaccinations papers before you can enter. Hell I know people getting the vaccination because they think they are going to need the proof as a passage to travel. Get on a plane, bus or train or enter a building "show your papers please". They are probably right.

Reading on one of my foodie forums people talking about making multiple copies of their vaccination papers keeping one on them one in each vehicle they drive one in the home and the original in a safety deposit box. People are willing and waiting for the show me your papers lifestyle. Yes 14 pages of people all willing to comply. Hell this safety seal is probably a sign for the health and fed departments to leave you alone you've already payed your shakedown money. The rest of the establishments who don't have the seal will get checked and fined heavily for letting a non vaccinated person to enter among the cleansed.

I'm astonished and outright shocked by the number of people who a year ago were bitching about how this pandemic is being used to establish new voting rules and to ruin small businesses are now lining up for a vaccine for this same virus.

Almost has that 'As Seen on TV' kinda ring to it, but with Woke Leftist 'Hollywood Stars' added in for faux legitimacy....Total Scam, just like Carbon Credits!

The Safety Seal may go over in California, but not where I live. It is a ridiculous idea.

I can offer a very similar sticker for half that price. Who's in?

Yep

Your mistake is in watching CNBC.

I wish I had the time and money to come up with something like that.

I suspect what they do is copy and paste the CDC's rules, send them to you .... have you answer that you are doing most of that in your business and send them the money and you get the nifty sticker to put on your door.

Interestingly enough that's pretty much what farmers have to do around here to get certified "organic".

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss ...
