Q: My husband was refused service because he was rowdy with a store employee. Can that employee refuse to serve me
she says I am his spouse therefore she will not serve me even tho i was not inside store at the time?
A: Notwithstanding I am basing my response solely on your post, in general terms, any business does reserve the right to refuse service. However, a business cannot break the law or discriminate on the basis of suspect and quasi-suspect classifications such as race, gender, etc. I will be more than happy to discuss your matter further if in Florida.
