so taco bell has the right to refuse service to anyone that is riding a bicycle in their drive through? does that mean that i also have to right to refuse to sell donuts to anyone who is wearing a badge and carrying a gun on my property? maybe i can legally discriminate against people in blue or wearing high heals? a friend of mine describes discrimination as people who dont have a choice in the matter. so according to his definition, i cant discriminate against women but i can discriminate against women who are wearing bras.
why are the police called in to enforce corporate policy? imagine the day when they are called in to arrest a woman wearing a bra in the drive through. because, you know, women can hide all sorts of dangerous contraband in their bras that could very well endanger the lives of taco bell employees. women in bras are at least as dangerous as drunks on bicycles.
will my tax dollars also be expected to pay for police to arrest women for wearing bras on water rides at the local amusement park?
maybe in some instances its better to follow corporate law than state law?
who actually makes the laws around here anyway? i dont ever remember voting on any of these issues.... dandilions 6 inches or more cost 200 bucks to remove.... and they come right back. do i get a refund for that? 200 bucks and that dandilion grew right back! if your name was jose id definitely be getting my money back for that fuckup.

I remember walking through a drivethrough when I was a teenager and the doofuses wouldn't sell me a taco because I wasn't in a car.

Discrimination is the use of selective reasoning to make decisions, ie, 'being discriminatory'.

Illegal discrimination is making discriminatory comments or performing discriminatory actions as defined by law (federal, state, county, city, etc) or rules regarding private property.

We are all aware of the 'no shoes, no shirt, no service' type rules at resort areas.

Taco Bell, not wanting to expose employees to risk/trauma from 'grab-and-run' thieves, has a policy that says only cars get service in the drive-through.

That is OK - it is their right to have that rule as it is defensible.

The swirly_commode rule about bra-wearing on HIS property would need some defensible logic to withstand challenges to its' discriminatory nature.

Give us the LOGIC, swirly_commode.

its the same logic as the smash n grab on a bicycle.
a bra can conceal all kinds of dangerous contraband and shouldnt be allowed near the pathetic sissies who are afraid of bicycles.

its the same logic as a bicyclist being more dangerous than a drunk in a car.
i mean a drunk in a 2 and a half ton car can smash straight through the wall and actually kill people with his car. all a cyclist is going to do is bump his head on the wall and fall over.

im the accused
its their job to show the logic and support their claims, not mine.

trespassing is out since its commercial property, the invitation to come and do business is implied. they can not charge me with trespassing
so all they have is refusing service because someone was on a bike instead of a car.

Since you're prolly on a bike because the donut eaters caught you operating a car under the influence I am not sure discrimination is the correct word. Nobody is denying your right to get a cheap taco with 5% beef content, they just want you to walk in and order it inside so those of us driving outside don't have to swerve around your bike which is weaving back and forth in the drive thru lane.

Nanjar, my lisence is perfectly valid amd my car is in perfect working condition.
I was on a bike because id like them to stay that way. You can not get a dui on a human powered vehicle.
Also, it was 3am and the drive up was the onlg thing open.

Actually, yes you can. It is called a BUI in the college towns in California.

It may be a California thing.

A conviction of a violation of this section shall be punished by a fine of not more than two hundred fifty dollars ($250). Violations of this section are subject to Section 13202.5.

On another note, not all discrimination is evil. When I walk down an alley, turning tricks as I am wont to do on a Saturday evening at 3 am, I completely will discriminate against the John who is 200 pounds heavier than I am, on meth, and carrying a knife in favor of the Japanese businessman in his nice suit and with cash in his hand.

Sometimes discrimination is to help you avoid danger. It can be good.
