>>6074158
the idea that not serving them will not just make them go to one of the countless other restaurants seems pretty silly, this is just a hollow publicity stunt

>>6074158
If that's real it's basically a suicide note

>>6074181
dunno really the place is pretty popular

>>6074158
>Why is this a problem?
Because it's not their place to say what consenting adults can or can't consume?

>>6074181
I'd eat there. But you know some faggot SJW's are going to harp on about it until its featured in the media, then some faggot liberals will try to get their business license pulled or some shit like that.

>>6074158
>In the UK, 64% of adults are classed as being overweight or obese.

So I guess this restaurant wants to go out of business...

>>6074201
its certainly their right to choose who they sell to,
its obviously just a publicity stunt though, and should not be taken seriously

>>6074158
same place did the no halal produce served here stunt iirc

>>6074201
WRONG.

Business is not Government. They should be able to turn away any customer for any reason.

If they want to hang a sign that says "NO GAYS ALLOWED", then I can't find a good reason why they shouldn't be able to.

>>6074158
>I'm sorry, Xir, but we can't serve you; you're too fat
imagine this going over in america and then anecdotes popping up on the internet

oh god please let the shit hit the fan!

>>6074217
The law says you can't discriminate on grounds of race, gender, sexuality or religion but ultimately the management have the right to refuse without giving a reason.

>>6074222

Only for certain things, like employment or approving a loan.

Clearly discrimination on other things can and does exist. A great example is how the boy scouts can refuse gays (and girls).

>>6074217
I'm all for that but anti discrimination laws aren't.

>>6074217
>I can't find a good reason why they shouldn't be able to.

Because unlike 16 year old "Libertarians", the real world tends to find that discriminating against people is a form of mob-rule, and most societies have decided that's not a great way to do things.

>>6074212
>yfw the place is run by an autistic /ck/ lurker

>>6074224
>A great example is how the boy scouts can refuse gays (and girls).
they can't anymore

>>6074222
Well, they should rewrite the law.

Government exists to do what individuals and corporations can't do for themselves like build highways, inspect food, fire departments, train an army, etc.

It's not their job to enforce a moral code on society. If I don't want to have homosexuals in my restaurant, then I god damn well have the right to tell them to leave.

>>6074226
>Because unlike 16 year old "Libertarians", the real world tends to find that discriminating against people is a form of mob-rule, and most societies have decided that's not a great way to do things.

Yeah, it's a bad idea that will alienate a lot of a businesses' potential customers. But bad ideas are not the same as what's literally legal or not. (or right or not).

Can't believe bongs will bend over and take this and actually defend it. Truly a nation of cucks.

>>6074229

they have a revised policy on the scouts themselves, but still ban gay leaders. women are also banned (except for the odd case of "den mothers" in the case of cub scouts).

Also, the boy scouts is a religious organization. They don't care what imaginary sky friend you believe in, but you have to believe in one. I doubt the policy is often enforced, but technically atheists cannot be members. Same with the Freemasons, actually. (and they likewise exclude women).

>>6074226
The difference is that fatties can change their fatness, whereas gays can't ungay and blacks can't unblack. No discrimination, next case please.

>>6074234
http://members.scouts.org.uk/factsheets/FS185081.pdf

>>6074235
>The difference is that fatties can change their fatness

Some fatties disagree (and might have a point if they've been diagnosed with an actual eating disorder, although those are fairly rare)

>>6074230
>Government exists to do what individuals and corporations can't do for themselves...

Lol, that's a rather a naive view. Businesses and private individuals can and do do all those things. In fact, all the highways are built by private companies who are hired to do that job by the government. Same with the military, etc. The private military industry in countries like the US, Russia, etc. are larger than most state budgets worldwide.

>>It's not their job to enforce a moral code on society

Agreed 100%.

I would love to be in a court when some judge came out with that. lel.

>Can't believe bongs will bend over

Only the ones who aren't fat lard asses.

>>6074242
The fat can be removed surgically, and they can thus be normal for a short amount of time before they refat. Surgery cannot safely remove blackiness or gayness.

>>6074242
come on, you're being a fool now. that's like me saying I can't quit smoking, of course I always could. just because thing is hard doesn't mean it's impossible and not one's own responsibility

>>6074253
I HAVE A RIGHT AS A SMOKER TO EAT IN YOUR RESTAURANT AND SMOKE. DON'T DENY ME YOU CIS RACIST SHIT

>>6074251
>The fat can be removed surgically, and they can thus be normal for a short amount of time before they refat

Well, okay, I'm not sure of your medical qualifications here but I'm not quite sure it's that simple.

>>6074246
it would be like ferguson but fatasses instead of blacks

>>6074253
>that's like me saying I can't quit smoking

There are genuinely people, with medically diagnosed eating disorders, who cannot stop eating. Just as alcoholics cannot simply "quit drinking"; it's an addiction. I did also say those people are fairly rare; the vast majority of fatties just need to eat less and exercise more (and take a shower, for Gods sake)

>>6074255
Have you never heard of lipo surgery?

>>6074260
That's not a fatty, that's a mildly-tubby.

>>6074259
These special snowflakes only arose in the past 50 years or so.

>>6074259
I don't believe you and that's all there is to it. let's end this because we'll not change eachother's opinion with internet true facts and focus our energy towards other posters.

>>6074262

>>6074264
Well yeah, but that's like saying "Ebola isn't real, we didn't know about it 50 years ago". Science moves on.

>>6074266
>I don't believe you

That's fine, "belief" isn't required.

>>6074243
The ultimate goal of a business is to make money. Private prisons need prisoners to stay in business. The private military industry needs war. Construction companies need cheaper materials and fewer safety standards in the way of getting the job done.

Government's new role in our society is to pass the laws for big business. That's why America got the moniker "Corporate America".

We need more neutrality and transparency in these industries.

I'm not saying that this person wasn't a grill
she may very well be
I'm just saying that if she is you're still probably way more into cocks than she is.

>>6074304
>implying implications

Except no-one implied that. You seem extremely upset; perhaps you'd like to calm down and go read up on what Facism as a system of government entailed. Perhaps start with the fact that Hitler & the Nazis didn't invent Facism and go from there.

>>6074320
Nice one!

America truly is the greatest country in the world. American children can grow up to be anything they want. Mikey J was born a poor black boy but died a rich white woman. In what other country can this happen?

>>6074444
>In what other country can this happen?

Last I checked vitilligo didn't discriminate amongst borders.

>>6074448
Last I checked, vitiligo doesn't make your facial features feminine nor come with a free bottle of relaxer for every diagnosis.

>>6074466

What does any of that have to do with changing race or gender? Nothing.

>>6074476
Cuz she died a rich white woman. Are you following the conversation at all?

>>6074493

No, that's a silly joke based on the fact that he had vitilligo. It's not a point of discussion at all.

And even if he/she/it did magically change from a black man to a white woman, free bottles of propofol and facial reconstructive surgery don't affect skin color or gender so they clearly had nothing to do with it.

>>6074158

would be interesting to see

>>6074505
>he thinks 'relaxer' refers to 'propofol!'
You are so fucking stupid.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxer

>>6074259
Youre saying this as if theyd die from not eating for 24 hours, which is not the case. Also there arent any withdrawal symptoms for obese fatties, at least not the lethal kind, unlike for alcoholics.

>>6074509
You should see the chef. He's roided up like a brick shithouse. Nice guy though.

>>6074512

Whatever it was, it still didn't affect skin color or gender.

>>6074158
My girlfriend's coffee shop has a no mobility scooter policy. Fuck the fat spastics.

>>6074556
That sounds kinda stupid, elderly people use those as well. If it's just some small shop that makes sense though.

>>6074598
Mate you should see the fat fucks around here, they don't need them, they are just obese and lazy. If it's an oap the staff will help them but fat fucks get no assistance.

>>6074613
Oh, that's alright then.

>>6074556
I still can't wrap my head around this. Have these scooter beasts just given up? Do they feel entitled? How can a person with no disability think it is fine to do that? Americans,pls. :^)

>>6074242
If they have an actual eating disorder, isn't keeping them from easily available food helping?

>>6074761
The difference is, if you actually want to be helpful then give them a free salad. You want free publicity, put up a sign ridiculing people.

/ck/ has a huge fatass population that basically views this as another porn board. It's only natural that they'd get all flustered when someone threatens to take away their fix.

>>6074839
cuul starry, scro

>>6074839
/ck/ also has a huge problem with gobby little pricks, takes all kinds!

>>6074509
That's now how obesity is defined.

>>6074158
I wouldn't eat there, not just because it's anti-fat stuff, but because it's absolutely idiotic. I don't want idiots handling my food.

Fatties BTFO

>>6074158
That's kind of dumb. It's not like some dude with Type VI Diabetes & an oxygen tank who weighs 500 pounds is gonna come in, order a sandwich, and then double over right after the first bite.

Maybe if that happened, sure, but I doubt fat people coming in is really a health risk. That's just a unnecessary loss of money.

>>6074181
Lol no it isn't. Abercrombie and Fitch kick out people from their stores who are ugly, fag or old (even if they're grandparents buying for their kids).
They won't make plus sized in women's or anything above large in men's.
This exclusionary and divisive policy is the reason they're so popular. The company have a policy that they don't want ugly people to wear their clothes as it reflects poorly on them. People see that, they only see young and fit people wearing the clothes and therefore, thinking that this !makes them socially elite, go into the stores.

I would go into a deli that has staff trained to judge me if only to boost my ego when they find me acceptable. Also most dumb as fuck people are fat (stupidity correlates to fat because they're too stupid to take care of themselves, being fat isn't correlated to being stupid though) and idiocy is correlated to obnoxiousness, rudeness and so on. I dont want to be surrounded by fat people who are yelling and carrying on while I eat. O neither want to hear nor see my social inferiors.

>>6076052
Fat* not fag, lol.
Abercrombie caters to fags.

>>6074262
thats fucking obese..........

When business is slow will they adopt a "don't ask, don't tell" policy? Pretty sure you won't be able to tell a fat person just by looking at them.

>>6076075

uhh.. a-are you saying that you can't tell that someone is fat by looking at them?

because unless they're wearing oversized clothing or a fuckload of layers that's a completely retarded statement

>>6076080
Not all obese people are visibly obese, shitlord, I'm a transfat.

>>6076081
> transfat
do you do the roll and tuck your fat between your legs in public?

>>6076084
No, I weigh 150lbs but feel like a 600lb individual.

>>6076054
>>6076052
I hate to say this but...
that's quite the flyover point of view. This is likely the one time the term 'flyover' can be used correctly.

The 'social elite' do not buy their clothing from shopping malls, let alone A&F.

The day I see A&F advertised in Tatler is the day I give up playing polo.

>>6074158
10/10 would eat there.

>>6076225

That's not a flyover point of view though (also we're both going to get banned for using that word). There's a social elite everywhere. Even in shitty little african villages. In the shitty african village the social elite has the best spears and maybe an imported baseball cap to flaunt. In flyover land, they wear abercrombie (really though? I thought a&f was doing badly these days). In San Francisco they eat artisan toast on the way to their job at Uber.

Also, fuck fat people.

>>6074158
Meat is not what makes people fat. It makes zero sense.

>>6074233
>enormous fat piece of shit detected

I wish British people would stop pretending that they hate fatties. They made a hit show devoted entirely to gawking at them. had some retarded name like I Didn't Know How Much I Was Eating or something. 500 pound fatshits eating 24 hours a day on camera.

Past 50? Try past five. People like this literally did not exist before they had the platform to discuss their delusions with other people willing to go along with them, aka tumblr.

Special snowflake-ism aside, I don't really give a fuck about people that choose to slowly kill themselves with food, but don't try to act like society has the moral prerogative to accept it. I don't insult fatasses in person, but when you undermine the public health problem that obesity is by claiming that you're 'healthy at any size' when you clearly aren't, we have a problem.

>>6076678
>ideas come from the tumbeler

this is how I know you're 20 at the absolute oldest

my brother's roommate in the early 1990s couldn't shut up about how power lines caused brain damage or whatever. I doubt she knew what the internet was.

the editors of the tumbeler didn't invent most of the "isms" that you find objectionable. if there's a website that has a lot of that material on it, and it annoys you, the solution is to stop visiting that website.

>>6074556
Assuming you're in the States, such a policy is a REALLY bad idea because it may run afoul of the Americans with Disabilities Act. I remember reading a story about a disabled man who made a living suing random businesses over ADA compliance. All it'd take is one angry fatty to lawyer up, and there'd be a big problem.

That said, I don't take any moral issue with that kind of policy. Even as a fatass myself, I think anyone who eats themself too large to even walk around should be taken out back and shot.

>>6077097
Nah, we're in bongland. It's still pretty easy to discriminate. Mobility Scooters present a fire hazard as they block up the fire escapes.

>>6077111
Oh, well that's fortunate then. Didn't realize that mobility scooters were becoming a widespread thing for britbongs like they are for Americans.

If it was in the US, ADA would force the business to provide accessible tables that the lard barges (along with other disabled people) could utilize safely.

is this pret a manger?

Firstly you clearly have the loosest grip of what correlations are and secondly it seems as if you're suggesting that all stupid people are fat but not all fat people are stupid, the former being ridiculous the latter being obvious

In post-religious societies many would argue thats not the case but thats far beside the point because what you're talking about has very little to do with any moral code but the right as any human who didn't choose to come into existence as we understand it to be treated equally and fairly under all circumstances by all men. I don't understand why you think a business owner should have the right to alienate any group or person because they do not like them and have the power to do so.
