The bakery could just put up one of these in the future - ad problem solved
No need to give a reason
I was debating a work colleague about how as a “widget” business owner I could refuse to sell my widgets to a person just because I felt like it. And, I didn’t have to state why I didn’t want to sell. My colleague refused to believe it, thinking it was against the law. We let a lawyer friend of mine arbitrate. Here’s how he answered.
“While legally correct that a business can refuse service and does not have to state why; in civil court, the burden of proof falls on the business to PROVE they were not discriminating based on gender, sexual orientation, race, etc. so they’re basically guilty until proven innocent. It’s not right, not fair, but that’s just the way it is.”
I’m recalling this from memory, but believe I have it correct.
