Still waiting for the habitually offended class, to file a complaint over this. I thought you couldn’t deny service to people any longer. Yeah, sure...
Well there’s a tension between interests here.
I am pretty sure this is not official Noodles & Company policy and if they got documentation of it, the personnel responsible would soon be gone.
And if it is official Noodles & Company policy it would be absolutely idiotic.
But it raises the perennial question. Should we have legal civil rights requirements upon service rendered by a private entity. Being unable to manage such a system sanely (case in point, the gay cakes) ought to argue strongly for its abolition.
