I know its a thing in the US for any businesses. If you provide a service, you have the right to refuse anyone you want, and dont have to say why! Is it not like that here?

yes you can if you have good cause, like pubs in Glasgow do not serve people with football colours on during match days.

Yeah but "I don't like who you're sleeping with" isn't good cause, it's discrimination in the eyes of the law. Like someone else pointed out already, If they had half a brain between them the should have said, Oh we're double booked opsy!

So youre not allowed to say, "I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone"! YOu have to always give a reason. COrrect?

Well, if you booked and paid for a room and then when you arrived were told, no you can't stay here, wouldn't you feel entitled to know why? I know I would!

It was because you were Irish and may get drunk and start a fight.

Thats why I ask, because in the US, you dont have to say why! YOu just give them a note that states the law, and thats it!

Here me out now. What if it was someone you dont like? Someone lets say, who your ex wife cheated on you with, and is now married to her! I am stating an extreme case obviously. BUt youre supposed to not be able to refuse that person service right?

Well I'm female so I'll change that senario to husband haha, I'd probably stab her in the eye for having the cheek to first steal my husband and then want me to provide her food and shelter haha.

Seriously though, you would think if you were in a situation where you didn't want the person to stay for a reason that may be questionable in the eyes of the law that you'd have the cop on to lie and say you had double booked the room or something!
