"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven." ___ Matthew 6:1
You asked for thoughts but you seem hostile to them. As a business owner you should also know that there is something like niche and that it should be exploited if you can.
I'm not sure if this is a successful business strategy but who cares? The only one losing money on it will be him.
I'm all for people discriminating as long as it is done without coercion. That includes denying blacks or whites from your premise.
They're not discriminating. Nobody is being refused service. Nobody is being penalized for membership in a protected group. A specific activity is being rewarded with a discount, which happens at all kinds of restaurants for all kinds of reasons all over the place all the time.
Maybe.
Is it a reach to say those who choose not to pray are paying a 20% premium?
No. Restaurants can't discriminate. It's not just the federal government. A restaurant is a public accommodation, and therefore subject to Federal antidiscrimination laws. They can't discriminate if they choose to do so.
They can't choose to give a discount to Whites only, for example.
Then explain Ladies' Night at any bar where women receive discounts that men do not.
I see nothing wrong with it and enlightened tolerant liberals should not have a problem with it, right?
I think in general liberals are for the protection of everyone's rights. People certainly have every right to pray at a restaurant. However should there be a discount that is inaccessible to non-believers? Can this be construed as religious discrimination.
Actually, the answer is that Ladies' Night promotions have been found to violate a number of state laws, but the status of such events under the US Constitution is still unclear.
