Brought to you by my discovery that some people think that “the customer is always right” isn’t the slogan of a long-dead department store, but rather it’s an actual call the cops law.

Funny because it’s really quite the opposite in most places. You’re legally required not to serve intoxicated patrons. If you overserve people and they go off and kill someone, you could be liable in my state. I think that’s pretty bullshit but it surprises me that folks would argue to the exact opposite. Of course, why should that surprise me?
Ehhh, I think it’s probably more likely that you can’t discriminate on specific factors like age, religion, sex, skin colour, etc.
I just can’t see “most places” having laws that force you to deal with any and all aholes in customer service. Could I have a source on that, please? I have never heard of that before.
Being legally required to not serve intoxicated people is pretty much the standard across Australian states and NZ.

I misunderstood based off of the first sentence of that comment. My mistake. I’m also pretty under the weather. I’ll double check next time.
What are you asking for a source for? They didn’t say that the law requires you to serve people.
They said the law requires that you NOT over-serve people.
