Honolulu Mom and Pop fancy greasy spoon specializing in Italian food, Café 8½ recently put up a handwritten message on the front door. It read, “if you voted for Trump you cannot eat here! No Nazis."

A business ought to be able to choose who they serve, right? If a business wants only a certain clientele, that’s up to them. It’s OK if they only serve rich white men or only skinny middle aged women or only people who smell nice, right? Besides, Café 8.5 assures us that they aren’t grilling people at the door over this, if a Trump voter should order a meal, they won’t spit in his salad or anything.

Why put up such a sign at all?

Discouraging people who believe differently than you from visiting your place of business can’t be wrong, can it? You are a proud liberal running a restaurant. It’s perfectly reasonable that you don’t want any nasty right wingers ruining the nice left wingers’ dining experience. Keep the undesirables out. Call them Nazis! They’ll take their business elsewhere. It’s a win/win! (If anyone complains, you can always tell them you were just kidding.)

It happens all the time. It must be perfectly fine (legal even?!) for a business to turn away customers. No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service. That’s OK, right? It’s a public health issue. We can’t have bare skin touching various surfaces. People without shoes don’t have much money to spend anyway. Surely this is an example of sound business practice trumping the cold heartedness of leaving poor scantily clad homeless people outside of your store.

No More than Two Teenagers in the Store at a Time. That’s OK, right? It discourages hoodlum flash mobs. It’s not like teenagers are being targeted or anything. It’s not like, say, ordering black people to sit in the back of the building. That’s not OK. That is discriminating against someone based on their skin color. There are laws against that.

How about a baker turning down a request to bake a cake for a homosexual wedding? That’s not OK, is it? The baker might hurt the couple’s feelings. They might sue the baker and the baker might lose his business paying to defend himself for a business decision based on his religious belief.

We know that it is wrong to exclude certain classes of people based on such things as their skin color or disability. Is it OK to refuse service to Nazis? And what if they aren’t really Nazis? Do those Bernie supporters who voted for Trump have grounds to sue Café 8.5?

Should Café 8.5 be forced to serve Trump voters, even if it goes against their deeply held beliefs? Do we need more laws? Do we need to expand the list of categories of people businesses are not allowed to vex? Should we include political affiliation? If so, should that be all political affiliation or just the group who lost big in the last election?

On the other hand, maybe we need fewer laws. Maybe businesses should be able to exercise their freedom of choice to turn away anybody, for any reason.

In the case of Cafe 8.5, the people who voted for Trump will eat somewhere else. Café 8.5 will lose revenue. Some other restaurant will gain customers. Donald Trump voters tend to believe in competition, capitalism. (The Bernie supporter Trump voters may learn to believe!) Now, there’s a win/win!

Wait. Do we need laws to protect businesses like Café 8.5 from shooting themselves in the foot?

Unless you're able to perceive the difference between the former - an immutable fact of the individual's life that they didn't choose - and the latter - a philosophy chosen voluntarily - any disagreement would be incomprehensible.

The restaurant's owners could have chosen a less in-your-face way to get their point across. However, maybe having watched Trump rallies they thought this was the only language his "fans" would understand.
 
My God? Why on Earth would you pass a law to keep people from being stupid? It hasn't worked for the democrats.

I don't think I have any Nazi tendencies, but I did vote for Trump. So. . .

If I came up to that restaurant and read that sign, and it was a place that looked like a place I would want to eat--I'm not all that fond of Italian food--I would go in, smile at the server, order my meal, and enjoy it.

THEN I would advise the proprietor that I voted for Trump and let him throw me out.

He's happy and I got a free meal so I'm happy.

Win win for all.

Yup. Looking for their 15 minutes of fame, and social media (q.v. this thread) is giving it to them for free.

Unfortunately for you, I understand political persuasion is not genetic. Also unfortunately for you, it's obvious you can't answer my question, so why should I answer yours?

I can no more vote for the collectivist than the gay man can choose to like pussy. We were both born that way.

Your original argument has been countered and found lacking. Sorry sonny, you lost. Better luck next time.

I voted for Trump (I already have heard enough about that). How would anyone know unless I wore a sign? If businesses want to filter out their customers, and can make a profit meanwhile, I can accept that. I wouldn't want to patronize such a business that dosen't want me as a customer. Buyer beware.
