You can, but if a pattern can be shown that you are only giving the larger scoop to women you could have a problem.Teamless wrote: If I open an ice cream parlor, can i give someone a bigger scoop for the same price as I charge someone else for a smaller scoop?
Sure I can, why? Because I OWN THE PLACE!

Legal.Teamless wrote:there is a sub shop in Seabrook, Texas, called Neptune Subs
They have a promotion (and have for many many years) called "Bald Mondays"
If you are bald, you come in for lunch and get a savings over someone with hair.

You may not have consciously discriminated, but subconsciously, you did. That's why I only say you might have a problem in this situation.Teamless wrote:Why would I have a problem?C-dub wrote: but if a pattern can be shown that you are only giving the larger scoop to women you could have a problem
Despite the range being a privately-owned business:§20–304 wrote:An owner or operator of a place of public accommodation or an agent or employee of the owner or operator may not refuse, withhold from, or deny to any person any of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, or privileges of the place of public accommodation because of the person’s race, sex, age, color, creed, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, or disability.
As for Augusta and the like:§20–301 wrote:In this subtitle, “place of public accommodation” means:
...
(4) a retail establishment that:
(i) is operated by a public or private entity; and
(ii) offers goods, services, entertainment, recreation, or transportation;
...
§20–303 wrote:This subtitle does not apply:
(1) to a private club or other establishment that is not open to the public, except to the extent that the facilities of the private club or other establishment are made available to the customers or patrons of an establishment within the scope of this subtitle;
(2) with respect to sex discrimination, to a facility that is:
(i) uniquely private and personal in nature; and
(ii) designed to accommodate only a particular sex; and
(3) to an establishment providing lodging to transient guests located within a building that:
(i) contains not more than five rooms for rent or hire; and
(ii) is occupied by the proprietor of the establishment as the proprietor’s residence.
Disability is also a protected class and it would apply to the wounded warrior and terminally ill patrons.C-dub wrote:Good examples urnoodle. None of those excluded are protected classes except for those under 65. That would be age discrimination.
Yes, but he would not be discriminating against them. He would be discriminating against the healthy, but I don't think they are protected.

I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. I didn't make these laws. I don't always like them either and I'm not the type of person that will sue someone or make a big stink about it. I'll protest with my freedom to choose where I do my business if it bothers me that much. Having a ladies day at the range does not bother me. Does that mean I am part of the problem because I have come to accept that discrimination? Probably.Teamless wrote:I guess someone needs to tell The Arms Room to stop their monthly ladies night as well, as all men are prohibited.
And I guess that no more bars can have ladies nights.
Someone call your congressman!
urnoodle wrote:There will always be an argument that a portion of the population is being treated unfairly and one can manipulate that group into a protected class. If as a country we achieve 100% equality, we did so by sacrificing the very freedoms this country was founded on. All frivolous lawsuits seem to accomplish is taking more of those freedoms away.
You can't please everyone. Some folks need to stop being so sensitive.
from days gone by. I think in this instance, "A Ladies Day" is a good idea...for the ladies and for the sport.
