How can a public accomodation do that? What happened to “Bake me a cake or else!” But it’s probably not a good idea to get food or drink from such a place!

Terminate the business license and utilities. Post a
health department warning on the door.

I’m not a lawyer, but here’s what I think the deal is. It’s all about being a member of a legally protected class, or not. You can’t deny service based on race, for example. That’s because race is a legally protected class. But your job type is not a legally protected class.

So I guess you can deny service to a cop, just because he’s a cop.

You’ve got that right. Better to be denied service than be poisoned.

My thoughts as well. In this case though the professed reason was the safety of the customers, and thus the policemen could have refused to leave, resulting in the police being called. Meanwhile, in the Jack Phillips case he did not want to be an accomplice to evil, and was actually acting consistent with the highest law of the state at the time, and above all, the supreme law of God.
