Hey BOZO....in Texas, the police consider a diner in public....
OK, Perry Mason, you win, LOL.
I would ask you be kind to those less knowing. So many people don't realize that public venues like stores, bars, diners etc. that are open to the public are public places.
They wish they were private and subject to ownership rules, rather than public ones.
I understand the difference, but disagree with the philosophy and interpretation.
