4. That is called "age discrimination"...The owner is black, how would he feel if a restaurant decided that

"No Black people will be allowed in this restaurant Starting July 1, 2024". For someone who has suffered discrimination, and still does, it is a brain fart to come up with an idea like that. For one, imagine the number of customers he is loosing.

Another thing I don't think he has thought of, young people who visit places with their parents, including restaurants, build good memories about these places, and eventually they want to go back, they want to take their friends, etc. That is a customer base that he will not be building.

We used to go to an Italian restaurant when our son was little, he loved it (Mario's in Lexington Massachusetts), the food was fantastic, the lasagna incredible, the service was fantastic as well, and they always treated our son great. We moved away from the area. Our son now has kids of his own, and when they visited the area the first thing he did was to take his family to that restaurant, which to his surprise, the only thing that had changed were the table cloths, but the food was as good as he remembered and so was the atmosphere, this discriminatory restaurant will not enjoy that.
