Answer 1

Do you agree that people have the right to use profanity at pizza hut?

Of course they do.....last week Marg brought her youngest child Billy Wayne, who is 5, to work. Seems the babysitter had another nervous breakdown. ...but that's another story
.
Anyway.... Billy Wayne crawled under a booth by the door and every time someone in sweats or shorts went by...
He yelled "London Bridges falling Down" and then he'd give a big tug on their pants or shorts.

The other customers loved it. Marge was horrified. Diego the cook thought it was hilarious too, until Billy Wayne jerked his pants down to his ankles...that was when Diego started after Billy Wayne with a butcher knife, and calling that child horrid names in Spanish .....oh well.....the gang down there always has something going on don't they?

Answer 2

In the strictest sense of the law, we don't have the "right" to use profanity or even express certain beliefs on private property. Pizza Hut has the right to eject someone who uses racist, sexist or othherwise abusive language, and not just profanity. Likewise, Pizza Hut has the right to allow all kinds of language protected by the Constitution, if they so choose.

However, local ordinances preclude individual freedom sometimes. I remember a case of a man fishing in Michigan who was convicted under a state law prohibiting cursing in the presence of children, when they overheard him scream a profanity on the lake. So it really depends on several things:

1) the jurisdiction of the establishment
2) the company that owns the establishment's policy
3) The managers of that particular establishment

No one is saying cursing in public is a good concept. It is offensive, uncouth, and socially backwards. However, being an idiot has never been against the law.

Answer 3

What in the world is the obsession with Pizza Hut????!!!
Profanity in a public place is not acceptable. I think it is rude, I teach my kids that is bad, and then they hear it when we are out.

Answer 4

It all depends on if you are an employee or not, how loud you are, and who it is directed towards. If you are an employee, never within the hearing of customers. If you are a customer, only directed toward your dinner companions, and not within the hearing of children. It also depends on just how profane you get. There's such a thing as going over the top, even in front of adults who aren't hypersensitive to profanity.

Answer 5

people have the right to use profanity anywhere,however, due to the fact that sometimes the public doesn't want to hear it ,the pizza hut will side with them and kick you out

Answer 6

the use of profanity isn't a "right" when you're on private property and Pizza Hut has every right to ask you to stop or leave.

Answer 7

Well, yes they have the right to, but just because freedom of speech allows them to do that doesn't make it polite. When in public, profaity should be saved for somewhere not in public, not just pizza hut.

Answer 8

I consider Pizza Hut a public establishment. Profanity it not excepted in public places. How would you like it if their menu advertised to "try our ******* deep ******' dish Pizza dammit!"

Answer 9

Only if the place were empty.

You want to speak wrongly and say it is right? Do people have a right to talk loudly about you and your beliefs? "Look at that fat slob over there, that cow in the white shirt! What kind of idiot would chow down on so much pizza and beer, want to smoke like a chimney, and tell dirty jokes so that the mother and her daught in the next booth are embarrassed? I don't like that idiot's hair color or eye color, any one with that is the stupidest kind of moron in the world." [left to yourself I bet you've said worse, right?]

Maybe you are right, we ought to talk anyway we want when we are in public.

Answer 10

I understand that people have the urge to use profanity and it may even be a bad habbit. But People should understand that others may be offended and children may be listening. You should be careful.
