    I seem to remember conservatives applauding when Biden was kicked out of that restraunt years back. Now you are saying how horrible it is when the shoe is on the other foot. Hypocrits

    I’m not conservative. I just find the hypocrisy of it funny. It’s either all okay or none of it’s okay. Make up your minds.

    Naw!
    But I do find it humorous that Dems want to start segregating restaurants again. Dems vs Conservatives but some places that is going to appear very much, Black vs White.

    Don't try to please your customers and soon you won't have customers. Try continually losing money on your business and see what the IRS has to say about your tax deductible expenses. Running a constantly losing business can get very expensive.

    If a restaurant refuses service to someone just because they are Republican than that should be illegal if it already isn't. Refusing service to the public when the customer belongs to a certain race, religion, sex or sexual preference, cultural background or military status is illegal.

    You are free to refuse service to someone because you don't like their attitude or other trait that doesn't identify them them with a large group such as described above. This means you can refuse service to Ms. Sanders so long as you provide service to her larger group, i.e. Republicans.

    While customers are important, and are the point, shareholders get a vote (literally) as well. I don't know "western journal", but someone else posted this article from them about Starbucks' quarterly guidance report...

    (If you care, the transcript from the call is here. The MSNBC interview, guh, is here. Bloomberg's recap is here.)

    Shareholders care about profits and customers are universally recognized as key to profits.

    I'm never rude to a waitperson until after I receive my meal.

    Just a reminder....not all liberals are Dems.....I got the impression she was more Green Party than Dem....not that it matters at all....I went to a war vets meeting once at the local library and was told Viet Nam wasn't a real war so I didn't qualify for the meeting....let's say the members of that club weren't liberals. Memberships to clubs often go through a vetting process...Trump even does that with golf club memberships...I don't agree with these things but they are all around us.

    I joined both the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars as a lifetime member. I've never been hassled about my service in Vietnam. In fact, I've been praised for my service in the war.

    Should you belong to a war club? Hell yes, and just let anyone try and tell you different.

    Being in San Diego coming back from the war we were hassled all the time about being vets..a lot of us spent our off duty time in Mexico where we could buy a beer...I wasn't 21 yet when I got back....since those days this was my first encounter with vets actually dissing vets for the status of their war...no big deal to me...I just left.

    As long as that customer is not a nuisance to others, then they should be able to order their meal, beverages, etc without fear of discrimination.

    I have no sympathy for a business failing due to their discriminatory practices based upon those aforementioned groups you mentioned, Lanny. They are merely cutting out segments of the population they don't want to reach and offending others. They are practicing stupidity at that point and should fail.
