Only State sponsored discrimination is legal

[lander]

Clearly...

A family-owned restaurant in Pennsylvania is under a state discrimination investigation for offering a ten percent discount for diners who present a church bulletin on Sundays.

She wondered if their other discounts might be considered discriminatory — like the one on Tuesday night – where kids under 12 get to eat free. Or what about the senior discount?
“Could someone under 65 complain?” she asked.

I bet if they had a discount for people who are Gay, African American, hispanic or Engineers he would not have an issue. Typical ass hole trying to start shit.

John Wolff, an atheist in Manheim Township, Pennsylvania, has filed a complaint against Prudhomme’s Lost Cajun Kitchen for offering a 10 percent discount to diners who bring in a church bulletin on Sunday (video below).

Wolff told the Intelligencer Journal that he filed the complaint with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission because the restaurant discriminated against him for not attending church services.

Wolff said: “I did this not out of spite, but out of a feeling against the prevailing self-righteousness that stems from religion, particularly in Lancaster County. It’s not a big deal in itself and I have no animosity toward Prudhomme’s, but I do bear a grudge against the religious right that seems to intrude on our civil rights, right and left, getting laws passed that favor religion. And this was one more nail and I wanted to do something about it.”

Restaurant co-owner Sharon Prudhomme said that she planned to ignore the complaint: “I did check with all churches that I know of and ministers and they have said anyone can grab and go."

"Come on in grab a bulletin, you don’t have to stay at church, you can take it in and still have a nice dining discount. So, everybody’s covered... this is America, I’m an American, I have a business and I can advertise when and where I like to."

The Freedom from Religion Foundation, which is helping Wolff with his complaint, claims that discounts based on religion are illegal under the federal Civil Rights Act: “As a place of ‘public accommodation,’ it is illegal for restaurants, grocery stores or other businesses to discriminate, or show favoritism, on the basis of religion."

Tell him he can go to Hell...

[MrPeabody]

The guy has no case. It's a coupon that can be used by anyone. Nothing says you have to be a member of any church to get the discount. I advertise my business in church bulletins, although I don't attend any church. It's a good way to support the good things they do in the community. Coupons are merely a way of gauging the effectiveness of the advertisement.

Someone needs to tell that perticular gentleman to go fuck himself and leave people be.
That is the same as if a place down here offered 10 percent off if you wear Saints gear, and I get offended because I am a 49ers fan.
STUPID STUPID STUPID.

[Bill]

Meh. If I bring 'em this, I expect my discount.

[theanswriz42]

As an atheist, that guy is an asshole

[Joecooool]

This is the kind of stupid shit Fox puts on its front page to try to convince Christians that somehow their religion is under attack.

So some guy in a town no one ever heard of filed a complaint. It will be looked at and tossed. Who gives a shit.

But a 10% on tanning booths to pay for healthcare isn't discriminatory.

I mean, all the Obama's go to tanning salons...

Tanning booths cause cancer. They should be taxed accordingly.

Pretty much my thinking also..

All you have to do to get the discount on ladies night is be a female...

All you have to do to get the kid discount is take your kid or grand kid so the kid can get the discount..

List goes on and on, but I remember stopping by a bar restaurant that had a big sign out for a "bikers discount" after the yearly hill climbs event.

No one cared if it was a Harley, or even if you were just the passenger, I doubt anyone even checked to see if you drove up in your car..

But maybe if Dixie had a sign out "Corvette Barn members discount" at the Barn raising cookout...


Some people really need to rest their neck...

[Torqaholic]

Or what about the senior discount?

According to the fudgepackers in gov't it's only discrimination if they claim non-profit status to avoid taxes

Bitter old bastage.
