#13  Or even less obvious, they would flood the reviews with low ratings so when casual viewer would scroll the list of bakers, their score would be incredibly low. Doubling the pain would be to increase accordingly the rank of a rival, politically acceptable local rival.

#12  South Park hit it hard "You're not Yelping".

Cancel Culture has turned it into a bludgeon.

"As a non-binary trans-queer curious Muppet Martian of color, I thought I would be welcomed by Christian Bakers. I was mocked by the "Bakers" that they used Holy Water in their recipes and that my cake would catch fire in the oven. I found Rosary Beads in the cake, and am filing a Hate Crime!"

#8  Next time your server has a BLM pin just tell them you changed your mind and leave. Eventually the owner will figure out the reason his business is failing.

A number of times I've simply asked to see the manager then requested an alternative server. Sometimes changing tables works. At one, the floor manager didn't come to the table but did catch up with us at the door as we were leaving. He comped us that dinner.

#7  I never let people who touch my food in places I can’t see serve me if I think there is a sharp political disagreement. Duh!

#6  Ask any honest server who has a tendency to tip, and who doesn't, and there is some real irony here.

Getting emotional and violent isn't exactly breaking any stereotypes either.

*Q: is tipping a thing in the UK?

#5  OK, the former homicide detective was 'standofish'. How very odd. Then there's incontrovertible evidence of the note on a receipt. Been quite a few of those in recent years, certainly never a forgery or anything, I mean the waitress said and everything. Hell, they all have hearts of gold, at least when they're not looting the walk-in.

I think the man has a legal case whether he wrote it or not. There remains a thing called due process which has been egregiously violated. Take the AG to federal court and get the pension upgrade.

#3  Tats, black clothing, body piercing jewelry in nose-lips-tongue, ear lobe expanders, pink hair.... Sorry, no friendly smiles from me. I may leave at any moment and never return. 'No tip' is a given. There, I said it.

#1  "Cancel culture" at work? The Washington State AG's is a Dem. His bio reads like he is a progressive activist.

Ferguson and Inslee sued Trump over Executive Order 13769 which barred terrorists from ME countries coming into the country. Politically, it was referred to as the Muslim Ban by the left. The legal challenge, was based on religious discriminated. IIRC, Trump ultimately prevailed in SCOTUS.
