77. McDonald's and other stores and restaurants should face reality

Thu Nov 22, 2018, 12:07 PM

Nov 2018

Racist and religiously bigoted behavior is a PROBLEM in these public accommodations. Just as Starbucks had to learn, they need to prepare their managers to deal with incidents like this. It is interfering with people's right to patronize an establishment. So yeah, the businesses ARE responsible for protecting their patrons from harassment and threats. No, they aren't equipped to handle someone with a gun, but fair treatment of customers ought to be a priority. It's good for business anyway. And why can't these places make a statement that ALL are welcome in their establishment and that harassment will not be tolerated? Why would it hurt to have a little sticker at the entrance indicating so - they already have a bazillion stickers / notices and signs at the entrance?

Society in general has a responsibility to protect and defend people's right to, uh, just be in public. We should all do more, but corporations should set a standard.
