Diner owner refuses SHS service on moral grounds

I get maybe it makes you feel good as a business owner to stand by your "moral convictions" but IMHO you serve your customers regardless. Bake the cake for the guys getting married, serve the chicken parm to the press secretary...pretty simple.
Was it over @Moral grounds or had SHS eaten there before and cleaned out the place?
No, it's not good. I respect the business owner's right to choose whoever they want to serve, and prefer the market sort it out, but this kind of thing is not good.
When you're telling someone what restaurant it's ok to eat at, you've gone too far.
I guess a restaurant has the right to refuse service to anyone, but I also have the right to not eat at a place that won't serve someone like this.
Cons: DISCRIMINATION IS A GOD GIVEN RIGHT!
Also Cons: YOU CAN’T DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ME!
I said “Good for them” in regards to giving SHS and her family a little “taste” of the very (poor) policies that the Republicans and the Administration are pushing and that SHS continually defends. I see it more as a “two can play at this game” kind of thing and I think it was a perfect response. I do agree with your comment about let business owners do what they want and the market can sort it out. I also agree with your comment about where this type of behavior can lead but that is exactly the point this business owner is making.
Reads like a win. You need to clean your mirrors.
Uh, no.
If Sarah wanted them to cater a party at her home then they should have the right to decline. But if her and her family want to come in and eat dinner then you can’t kick them out unless they do something wrong.
Having said that, if I was SHS I would never eat in a restaurant because I know there’s a pretty good chance someone will put something in my food that doesn’t belong in my food.
Cons wanted the door open, can’t complain about the flys now.
I suppose it would have been unrealistic for me to expect you to understand nuanced thought.
She can eat somewhere else. Just like the guys gettin married can buy a cake somewhere else.
That time passed when you opened the door. Time to deal with the reality you wanted. I tried to protect you, you slapped me away. Now eat your crow.
I’ve been crystal clear about the reality I wanted. If you own a restaurant then you serve every diner who wants to sit down and eat. Doesn’t matter if they’re gay or straight, black or white, Republican or Democrat.
Really stupid. Just like the cake guy who wouldn't make one for the gay couple. It's amazing how dumb and petty people are over stupid shit like this.
Doors have hinges. They can be opened and closed as necessary. If SHS wanted the owner to cater a party at her home then I would fully support his right to say no. But if her and 7 family members want to dine in your restaurant of public accommodation then you hold your nose and serve them.
This is not complicated.
Butthurt! Little con crying in the corner.
People who support the cake bakers denying service to gay couples for moral convictions, but condem the restaurant for denying service to Sanders for moral convictions... are hypocrites.
It really does not make the world a better place when people are constantly pitting conservatives vs liberals .
Yeah! Constant bickering!
Yeah! Constant bickering!
So how about people who support the restaurant owner but condemn the cake bakers?

Discrimination, by itself, isn't wrong. Humans discriminate all the time. What's wrong is discrimination that's based on some sort of protected characteristic, like race or religion.
Political affiliation is not a protected characteristic.
That said, I think it would be morally wrong to refuse service because a patron is wearing a MAGA hat, if hats are otherwise allowed in the establishment.
sarah Huckabee sanders as far as I know is a moral person who is a chrisitian or Mormon or at least a church goer. what exactly is immoral about her? now, you could say you 86'ed her cause you disagree with her POLITICS , then you would be telling the truth.
As a business owner, I can't see staying in business with these type of procedures in place..
this restaurant just needs to hang a sign on the door that only lib dems are allowed. it's all politics
I'm fine with it if they throw everyone out who insn't dem. I dunno how they would prove it with the rank and file folks
Court rulings not based on public accommodation laws which allow for discrimination on moral grounds of course.
