<p>It's discrimination (disparate impact or otherwise) to the same level Pete's is discriminating against nudists by forcing them to wear clothing inside the store. </p>

<p>I realize it may just seem like word choice to you in the abstract, but to label this as "discriminatory" (even to the degree it fits in some inactionable, technical definition of the word) in order to call out what many would view as an inconvenience (justifiable at that in some people's minds) is going to rub some…</p>

That's where (speaking for myself) this whole conversation being framed in terms of "disparate impact" and "discrimination" starts to smack of entitlement. </p> If we aren't prepared to deal…tag:thechainlink.org,2016-10-08:2211490:Comment:10209132016-10-08T03:13:45.445ZGort 12-mile Pinklegneephttps://thechainlink.org/profile/PeenwormGrubologist

<p>We are entitled to decide where we want to shop. I really don't care if Pete's doesn't allow backpacks. I just know I have no interest in shopping there, if that is their policy. But I don't hate them or want to organize a boycott...</p>

I never asserted that they're not entitled to have their policy. In my original post I said I understand it's their store. It is discrimination though. It's what's called unintentional, "disparate impact" discrimination (see what I quoted on page 1). I understand, as I stated numerous times in this thread, that they have an interest in security of their products. I never alleged a right that was being infringed. I am merely expressing my disagreement with the policy. I never even said I'm going…

I am merely expressing my disagreement with the policy. I never even said I'm going to stop shopping there. I'm not sure how my expressing my disagreement, on a bike forum, equals entitlement.
