Very curious. Please explain.

I know Rabbi Bistritzky A"H from Tzfas used to go around on Shvi'i Shel Pesach to the establishments with his Hechsher and more than once caught an over-eager owner getting a head-start...
Yup, that's what happened here many years ago. As a knas, vhq prohibits pizza shops from opening. I know people have tried to undo it over the years but couldn't get through the bureaucracy.
If you don't care why would you comment?

Collective punishment? IINM R' Bistritzky just took his Hechsher off the offending establishment.

Its one of the only thing the vhq is makpid on. Most other things they ignore. Though they didn't give a hechsher to a jew who sold his store for shabbos, or a store which had a dance floor that let mixed dancing

Every time they refuse to give a hechsher grip reasons like that they end up looking foolish.

There was the "Internet Cafe" they thought would become a hangout for yeshiva guys and girls. Turned out to be a meeting place for chazaq shiurim.

The mixed dancing was another folly. They thought it was a night club because of the disco lights. Turns out bucharians just like disco. They use that place for bar mitzvahs and I've never seen any mixed dancing going on.

I think the store was owned by an Israeli who kept one day.

I'm assuming the speech was on shabbos, you think he uses a shabbos wallet or something like that?
