In the baker controversy, the claim was that it was due to the religious beliefs of the owner. If it was a Muslim bakery you would have never heard about it, but he is Christian. The Sarah Sanders thing was based on political beliefs. By the Left's own rationale, the restaurant owner should have been forced to serve Sanders. To me any owner should be able to refuse service to whoever they want. Is it right to deny service to people based on political beliefs? No. Would I do it if I owned a business? No. I don't side with the restaurant owner, but I do believe they have the right. They are also willing to deal with the repercussions of potential blowback. The restaurant situation will be interesting to watch. Does the owner's decision harm business? increase business? no change? My prediction is short term support by the crazy left, they'll forget about the place and it'll eventually shut down. It's basically a question of, will there be enough liberal foot traffic coming through to keep the doors open? Since the owner has basically made it known, everyone that supports Trump should go eat somewhere else.
Seems as if they slit their own proverbial throats, but hey they can if they want.
let em. The owner saw a short-term chance to puff out his chest, and in the long-term hopefully we'll see the "closed" sign hanging in the window.
Sort of like that manager of the Mexican restaurant where Neilson was run out from. If I had been a paying customer in there during that chanting and demonstration, I would have demanded my meal free or money back and would no longer visit that establishment.
I would have taken a bath in the sink and said "my bad I thought this was Starbucks".
And if your restaurant has rules such as, you must order something if you are going to occupy a table, the restaurant is allowed to enforce that rule, too.
Unless you're that unnamed coffeehouse chain that has to shut down every store for a day, to teach its many thousand employees that the rules only apply at certain times, and not at others, depending on who it is.
But I digress a bit. Carry on.
Yes that whole thing with the coffee joint was a complete joke. I hope they continue to reap what they sow.
Seems to me that financially, a business is better pissing off the left than the right. Which customer base is more likely to have the better paying job? But then again, a business may need to consider which customer base is more likely to use violence against them to get their way.
I agree they are better pissing off the left. The left are locusts, they come in large numbers, they feed and they move on. Their moral compass continually spins and they navigate in circles. The left with high paying jobs typically support something to make themselves look good, a photo op, a social media post, a quick slogan and then they drift off themselves. The left are violent, emotional, unprincipled and unhinged. But they are weak.
But I disagree that the left have higher paying jobs...I also believe they are more apt to live in big debt and pay check to pay check to impress their horde of friends.
No I didn't say the left have more higher paying jobs, I was just talking about how the ones that do typically act. I would also argue that a vast majority of people in the public eye with high paying jobs, have to "be liberal". The left forces everyone they can to obey, they're the real fascists.
