I am not really doing it at all, but if someone else does knowing facts, that's cool with me. I don't live near this place or really know who they hire. The anonymous call thing was just joking around.
Considering the implications, it's not exactly a topic that should be tossed around lightly. You were having back and forth with others, and that's where you landed, and I think someone else even liked the post. Attitudes like this == why we can't have nice things.

Pick2 just gives me likes, has nothing to do with the liking of the post.

Awwww....isn't that just like a little 2 yr. old. Get caught doing something, like suggesting making an anonymous tip that's not a tip and, btw, making those kinds of tips is illegal.....and dance away claiming "it's a joke!"

What a moron. A knob-gobbling moron.

You're supposed to take him literally, until you're supposed to take him figuratively, until it's a joke.

I still believe illegals need to be gone, there, now I am not kidding.

So for all those saying to others: "if you support the bakers against gays, then you should be for this" -- are you for or against this type of discrimination?

Any before any asks (or maybe no one gives a crap), I am against any discrimation by businesses, whether it is bakeries, coffee shops or whatever.

Being a police officer is a) not a protected economic class and b) a choice. The baker/flower shop discrimination cases are wholly different from the coffee shop who refuses to serve cops.

Am I to understand that people who advocate for the right of private businesses to discriminate against certain customers they don't like are incensed that other businesses with different beliefs would dare to discriminate against other categories of customers?

I am shocked, shocked I say, at this completely unforeseen turn of events.

Cuts both ways sir.

And if they were a protected class, you'd oppose this?

I can't answer for him but if they were not serving gay cops or black cops I would oppose it... Since just "cops" are not and never will be a protected class I could give two shits. They will have to live by their choice and deal with the backlash...

And if some people could shoot lasers from their eyes, could we force them to wear sunglasses for the good of everyone else?

Being a cop isn't a protected class and likely will never be one. Answering the question of how I'd feel if they were somehow protected class seems like an irrelevant hypothetical to answer.

Humor me. Would you oppose it or not if cops were a protected class?

The owner(s) of the coffee shop must have some bad experiences with police. I think the whole thing is rather stupid.

Some people just don't like cops. In some neighborhoods having them around may well be bad for business because the neighborhood doesn't trust them.

It's sad that it's that way sometimes but only the cops have the power to make it better.

That's the head scratcher... it's this odd ethical quandary where they won't serve coffee, but would probably have the police rushing in with guns drawn in the event of a crisis, which is clearly part of the problem (especially when the subject is non-white).

And it's safe to say the majority of BLM supporters, including the ardent ones, don't think the police should go away -- what they want are police forces that don't practice systemic racism.
