Not if the American president gives a speech and rallies the world to attack the alien mothership.

That reminds me of this video College Humor put up right around the time the sequel came out.

That's quite a business plan there. Eliminate half of society as customers before you open your doors.

This.

If you are in business to serve the public, then you should not be allowed to refuse service to someone simply because they are a Trump supporter.

Actually, she has every right to refuse to serve anyone for any reason. And you have every right to go to another place of business and tell your friends not to do business with her.

Give me a break! Anyone for any reason can choose to serve or not serve anybody for any reason. If that person doesn't like it, they can choose to go somewhere else. They can vote with their feet and wallets. Instead, we have butthurt people who got their feelings hurt suing various establishments over stupid reasons, all in the name of "social justice". Oh, you're a gay couple and a Christian establishment refuses to bake you a cake because they don't agree with your lifestyle? GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! How hard is that? Holy crap! But NO! LET'S WASTE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN THE NAME OF SOCIAL JUSTICE AND GO AFTER SOMEONE WHO REFUSED TO SERVE A GAY COUPLE BECAUSE THAT COUPLE WANTS A WEDDING CAKE BAKED BY THEM, COMMON SENSE BE DAMNED! If I had been a judge, I would've thrown those cases out. "If you don't like it, go ask another bakery that will gladly accept your business. Vote with your wallet! CASE DISMISSED!"

Again, common sense goes out of the window more and more in the name of social justice. So hypocrisy? Nope. The woman has every right to do what she did, and the customer has every right to go somewhere else and tell his or her friends not to do business with her.

One time in HS, we were at an event at a Black HS (Kashmere HS in Houston). Our group was all white or Hispanic and we went to lunch at a Jack-in-the Box in the neighborhood. I would have left, but the rest of the group was more patient than me. They kept waiting on Black drive-thru customers and didn't serve us. It took 45 minutes. Obviously, the manager of the store was aware of what was going on. It wasn't just one employee. So I chose never to go to Jack-in-the-Box again (given the times they were caught serving horsemeat in that era, there were other good reasons). That's been over 40 years. That's how you deal with it.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Taking your money elsewhere as a result of disservice or poor service.

I understand that legally, she is allowed to do this. I was staying in my opinion, that anyone who endeavors to serve the public should serve everyone.

So if you have an unruly customer who is clearly disturbing the other customers with his outrageous behavior, you wouldn't kick him or her out?

That is different. If they are disturbing my customers then they are violating their rights so they should be removed.

I don't know that this was happening with the Trump supporters. If they were simply wearing a pro Trump shirt and simply wanted service, then they should have been served.

However, if they were disturbing customers with their Trump rhetoric, then they can and should be asked to leave.

I have no problem with this shop owner denying her services to anyone for any reason.

And I have no problem with the person who was denied service expressing her opinion about it in a public forum.

This was how the United States was designed to work.
