court can if a case is brought against them. They can plead the 5th but if they are not providing a reasonable answer, the court will most likely assume discrimination did in fact occur. I doubt any lawyer would recommend that.




I'm just spouting bs, but my reason to not serve TeLe is because I don't want to, there is no other reason, I just don't want to serve you. Where is the discrimination?

Agreed. You can do that. But, if discrimination is assumed by someone willing to bring charges, a court would decide if you did it on a whim, or if you there were legal conditions that allowed you to refuse service. This has been well played out in court, I'm afraid.

I like Texas. I love how we are a right to work state. I am also anti-discrimination. If someone just wanted to fire someone for any reason, they could always just make an accounting reason out of it. When it comes to being a business that serves the public however, turning down a patron for an arbitrary reason is a bit easier to prove discrimination.

If you don't like how someone acts towards you and/or your business associates, customers, you or just about anything else, you can tell that customer to get out and stay out. Respect is a two way street.

If, however, you show a pattern of denying service to groups (especially protected classes) of people who have not shown you and/or your business disrespect, then you are guilty of discrimination.
