Call them home. Why do you think other people should be subject to the dangerous conditions you're imposing on them? Not just patrons but also workers.
- noduerme 5y agoI worked for a couple years in a coffeehouse that allowed illegal smoking after 9pm. I smoked. The owner smoked. Cops came in on their midnight break and smoked. You wouldn't have gone there, let alone worked there, if you didn't smoke. So tell me, why should that be illegal? So you can go there and everyone else has to go home? Once the city cracked down on it, a few mothers with babies showed up for awhile to show that they really had always wanted to go there. Then it was empty and it went out of business. So why can't you stand the idea of a place existing where you wouldn't want to go, but other people might want to go? I don't go to orgies or to burning man, but I don't feel the need to shut them down.
