Last time I bought a car was 4 years ago and that definitely didn't happen to me, if it did I would say something, that kind of s**t would bother me too much not to say something The guy I bought the car off was a lovely fella actually

Runs like a dream still and he wasn't a smooth talker, he was actually quite normal for a salesman and I deal with plenty of them everyday in my line of work

Yep, that happened with me and th'lady and our first car... Neither of us had driven before, she learned to drive first so I couldn't even drive. It was a joint purchase but she chose the car, she was the named driver for it... Salesman didn't break eye contact with ME the whole time we were buying it .

Hashtag everydaysexism.

I went to buy some flowers the other day and the florist assumed they were for my wife. She said "Birthday, anniversary, or in the dog house?" Can't a man brighten up his living room without such sexism! Ha ha ha R.

I do hate to say that I actually agree with this; even though I find their actions abhorrent. They should simply let other locals know how they were treated and let them vote with their feet. In general I do believe in the right of a private enterprise to refuse service to anyone, for any reason, without the law getting involved.

Now, like I said that doesn't mean they aren't crappy people, and HOPEFULLY if word got around about them, their business would suffer because of their prejudices. Natural consequences.

A good car sales person will ask who the car is for, men talk to men if the man takes the lead, I would start by saying the car is for my wife so she is the boss, them the person selling the car �� would be talking to the right person.

Very true niamh, but lets be fair not all woman are confident talking to men.
You deal with men all the time so its easy for you, and there are lots of females on here that are talking for themselves.

You will do as your told.

We will decide how your business is run.

We are the dictators.

I don't get where the logic comes in when people get big pay-outs? Emotional Damage? For not being served a cake? Reminds me of Ron's story the other night when he got thrown out of a pub for accidentally taking a 50p cake.
Maybe there's some serious cash just waiting for him.

Ha ha I do indeed feel traumatised still I shall contact my lawyer! R.

Hypothetical question:

If there ever was a bakery that specialized in making cakes for gay couples and there was a hetero couple that wanted a cake would they be required to bake them a cake or face a 135K fine?

I pray Trump destroys political correctness in his 8 years in the White House.

Yes that shop should be fined.. but that will never happen, its an odd hypo.

Yeah I would agree with this. 135k for not having a cake baked where you want it is ****ing ridiculous. I would gladly take being 'traumatized' by someone refusing to serve me for ANY reason if it ended in a 100k+ payday tbh. The award is ridiculous.

However, the fact that these people (the bakers) have now MADE money off their decision is also ridiculous.

Its all just a stupid situation and I don't get whats so wrong about baking a cake for a lesbian wedding, however I also do not understand quite the amount of fuss/compensation this has attracted.

Isnt that the point though, if you took someone who traumatised you to court, youd expect to leave in a way that would alleviate your traumatic experience. You, I and this couple can find solitude in 100k+. The traumatic experience just became a neutral, or positive one.

OTT though surely. I would have any trauma experienced alleviated by like 1k, or even a hundred. Hell maybe less

a free complimentary chocolate muffin and i'd be screaming

135k for this is ridiculous

Yeah, but if you felt traumatised to go through the legal process, you'd still willingly take the 135k! Or any figure that the judge deemed fair based on your personal experience.. Im sure the couple wasnt expecting so much money either tbf, but its not like they (or anyone else in their shoes) would turn around and be like 'oh no, we only need about a quarter of that'.

I look forward to the day bakers with Islamic faith are treated the same as other faiths in these situations 135,000 for trauma

[Cherie]

So a question to all who support this ruling, would you go into a Hindu run bakery and demand they make you a cake with eggs in it? OR would accept that they don't bake cakes with eggs and go elsewhere rather than forcing your wishes on them?
