In this case you have less of a leg to stand on. Unlike restaraunts
and workplaces, this is a private company doing this solely because they
want to, for whatever reason. No government mandates or requirement.
While I understand your feelings about government getting involved, this
is a time where a private concern has an absolute right to do with their
property as they see fit. Just as you have an absolute right to go
elsewhere. |
