Exactly. Though, my point was that we should expect to see a normal distribution that mirrors the economic necessity of the business.
Funny that while in my long career, I treat employees and customers as ‘green’ (money). But that’s also a property of my industries (art, technology, legal theory). I would not expect an employee to service someone who was acting offensively within the limits of western morals and ethics. In other words, Muslim intolerance has no place in a professional industry. But Christian intolerance for immorality might. And political intolerance certainly might be if it was brought into the commercial context.
So I’ve been on the side of the personal service sector’s want of refusing service for any reason. Including ‘face control’ at restaurants, clubs, and venues. But certainly those bakers who didn’t want to make a cake for a marriage they disapproved of.
When we get to large scale impersonal retailers the individuals and the ‘market’ can arrange a boycott and an attack on the stock. But I think most of us would prefer that political contentious content be limited to political venues. I would prefer any scale retailer remove politically contentious content from the inventory, and leave that business to people who prefer it.
When we get to large financial institutions, or telcos, electric, water, or oil and gas, that are an extension of the government because they are insured by the government, that’s a different story. That’s impersonal commodity service.
