We Reserve the Right
Of all the signs one faces and occasionally reads whenever they enter a
business, the ones that say things like "We Reserve the Right to Refuse
Service to Anyone" and "No Loitering" are usually among them.
They are also among the things that seem to be falling victim to that hideous
disease known as political correctness. Call me old fashioned, but if someone
is acting like an obnoxious asshole, they are usually asked to leave. If they
walk into a place and occupy space without ordering anything, they are usually
asked to leave. If they smell so fucking bad that vultures are circling
overhead, they are usually asked to leave.
Not any more. Unless you’re a straight white male, especially one wearing a
MAGA hat or anything and everything even remotely resembling one, the world is
now both your oyster and your toilet. As long as you’re not an ESWM (Evil
Straight White Male, as if there are any other kind), laws and customs in place
for hundreds, if not thousands of years no longer apply to you. Those vicious,
nefarious, oppressive, racist, sexist, anti-Semitic, homophobic assholes can be
denied service regardless of how they conduct themselves, but smelly, loud,
rude, non-paying and offensive slime of all descriptions get the red carpet
treatment, as long as they aren’t the dreaded Evil Ones.
I worked in the food service industry when I was a teenager and some retail
after that, so I know what assholes the masses generally can be and often are.
I never put any bodily fluids or secretions in the food, although I was tempted
on numerous occasions. Of course, being a consumer, I have also had more than
my share of attitudinal employees, so there’s that. What I do clearly remember
is that whatever and wherever it was, if someone was acting like an asshole,
they were shown the door; on one occasion, I saw someone open the door with
their very own head as they were being literally thrown out of it. That’s one
of the biggest problems in the world as far as I’m concerned. As if being an
asshole isn’t bad enough, now it seems that it a RIGHT to be a total, complete,
and absolute stupid ass-fucking-hole.
Anyway, I thought I’d assemble a cross-section of some (asshole?) employees
who felt the need to strike back at (asshole?) customers, even at the risk of
their jobs:
Apparently this person is fond of color-coding groups of customers. I
wonder how they would describe other patrons:
Mr. Brown clearly makes friends everywhere he goes:
Orientals seem to bring out the very best in some people:
Various Quality of Life issues seem to be addressed with these messages:
I find it supremely ironic that this came out of New Orleans:
This person probably didn't vote for Obama:
Spiritual leaders and religious fanatics are people too. Leave it to the
Reverend Paul Bergmann of this church to show his tender and merciful side and make
a lost soul feel right at home:
And last but not least, this insurance agent who resides near San Francisco. I wonder if he insures liberal Jews?
