But that's the same mindset in "I will deny to service this interracial marriage" or "I will deny service to redheads" -- nm

(although you could deny service to redheads, as they're not a protected group) -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 06:05
Let's not be too hasty on the redhead thing. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 6, 05:45 1
- Perhaps a "no shirt, no shoes, no soul, no service." tagline would cover it? -- nm - Inigo Feb 6, 05:46
yup -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 05:39
I agree. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 6, 05:35
Exactly! You don't get to do that. Either you serve everyone or close up shop and serve no one. - Krusty Feb 6, 05:35 14
- If you own a private business, you get to do that. I see nothing wrong with it. I hope they fail miserably, but it's their perogative - CQ Feb 6, 05:59 13
  - That's not true at all. Private as well as public business can't discriminate. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:02 8
    - I'm just going to admit I'm wrong in this whole thread and wish I never said anything. sorry -- nm - CQ Feb 6, 06:06 7
      - Haha! We all have that moment when we wish we never posted something. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:11
      - I don't think anyone is saying you're a bad person - at least not for this reason. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 06:08 5
        
        I'm not doing a very good job of relaying my meaning. I'll try to explain within - CQ Feb 6, 06:15 1
        
        Yeah, I'm with you there. You can definitely refuse service to people that are A-holes. Like you said, bars do it all the time. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:28

        It's a shorts and flip flops weekend for me. Screw you -- nm - CQ Feb 6, 06:17
        
        Mostly for his choice of beer. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:12
  - lunch counters in the south were private businesses. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 06:01
  - But that's not true. -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 06:00 2
    - it may not be "true" but it happens. -- nm - CQ Feb 6, 06:01 1
      - And hopefully people that are refused services sue their asses off. -- nm - Krusty Feb 6, 06:03
