Quote: You weren't singled out as there was not a group of crooked hat wearers. You were asked to comply with a rule that you didn't agree with. And just like a little kid you just had to get the next little dig in to the owner/employees. And then another... that is attitude... and that's what gets the spanking. Not buying a beer was just an excuse to get the guy with the attitude out before you escalated the situation. I've been in plenty of bars without buying a beer. I'm sure the other guys you were with, and had just met,were impressed that you were able handle the situation so maturely.
So you think that an owner has the right to demand whatever they want? Regardless of posted signs, or even a decent reason. Where do you set your limits for compliance? What rules would you comply with and what rule would make you leave?
