Legal or Illegal?

Question

"ATTENTION ALL" AT The 76th GAS STATION STORE Last night prior to the start of my Graveyard Shift I was over there. ON the Glass front doors, it is POSTED that All minors are NO LONGER ALLOWED INSide after 2300 Hours (11:00 pm) to buy anything at all. They said ADULTS is ok to shop inside the store. I asked why and the Clerk said due to minors Stealing from the Store or words to that effect, they no longer be in there.

Answer 1

This is illegal you can not stop some one because of his age you can refuse to sell beer to a minor but a candy bar lawsutie

Answer 2

Store Owners have the right to refuse to service whom ever they want. They do not need a reason, but there is always some reason for their ACTIONS.
In some cities, the front door to small stores are locked a night fall, and only opened to known customers, or those
Adults who show Picture IDs to the Store Camera.
It is not hard to understand their security measures. Just watch the news stories on TV.

Answer 3

In regards to legality, the store has the right to restrict anyone that goes into the store providing it does not discriminate a protected group (eg: race, gender or sexuality). Minor status is not considered a legally defined protected group. The store owner also has the right to restrict access to private property. Another reason for the restriction could be curfew ordinances of the municipality.

Answer 4

In France, that would be assimilated to a denial of service, and thus technically illegal.

On the other hand, what are minors doing at a store at that kind of hours? Likelihood is that there would be people interested in knowing that, some in uniform.

Answer 5

Legal. I just sold my grocery store after 18 years of operation and I have the right to refuse service to anyone. This includes minors or anyone else.

Answer 6

They CANNOT refuse service to anyone because of race, color or creed, that would be Illegal. As far as minors, I'm afraid you don't have much of a case.

Answer 7

I think it depends on if there's a curfew in the area. If kids are out past curfew, then there's no reason for them to be in the store that late anyway.

Answer 8

I HELLBENT respect the right of the store owner to say who can and who cannot shop at his business.
Obviously they have had problems with minors and they are dealing with it.

Answer 9

i'd make subsidies to tobacco growers unlawful, and somewhat, use that money to FEED human beings. If all and sundry is silly adequate to smoke, it particularly is their organisation, yet i'm now not drawn to paying for their habit whilst there are hungry human beings available. i'd legalize pot and gay marriages; it particularly is merely incorrect to inform human beings what they'd do of their very own lives whilst it particularly is now not affecting me.

Answer 10

if it's posted by the police/lawyer, I assume its legal. If it just a post from the store owner i dont think they can do that
