Why should the person denied service be expected to respect that service’s choice?
Because life is too short; there are likely other choices; and being respectful in general toward others should be the ideal.
It shouldn’t be. I think that respecting bad and irrational opinions has held America and the world back for way too long.
One should be indignant, sure, but throwing a hissy fit just makes them look like a child and accomplishes nothing. And you don’t want to give someone incentive to pee in the soup you asked them to make (a la Fight Club).
I don’t know how you define “hissy fit”. I guess Sarah Huckabee Sanders threw a hissy fit over getting kicked out of a restaurant, but what gay people have been throwing hissy fits in the middle of bakeries? Is suing them the equivalent of throwing a hissy fit? And why did you ignore the rest of my post? I thought it pretty well-reasoned. And throwing a “fit,” to use your language, actually accomplishes a lot. Vocal complaining has led to a lot of both great and terrible things in the world throughout the years.
JEDIT: I’m not saying they should put up with it. I’m saying standing there in the store having a shouting match about it isn’t going to get the customer what they want.
That isn’t even something that I’m aware of as being an issue. I don’t condone screaming in the face of some person in the lobby of an establishment, but that wasn’t what we were discussing at all so it didn’t really occur to me.
