Any business that discriminates against people based on race, religion, political beliefs, sexual orientation, language or for any other reason... won't get MY business.
If you discriminate against anyone... you discriminate against us all.
After all... who will be the next discrimination victim that you decide is unworthy?
If I ran the business... it would be to serve great coffee and make money. We wouldn't serve judgement. We may not like your politics or beliefs, but that shouldn't interfere with our serving you great coffee. If I don't want your money... it can easily be donated to the victims of your policies.
Poetica Coffee in Brooklyn shared a Facebook post on Sunday that featured a picture of Goldman in the shop, adding that they issued him a $9.82 refund for his business.
“Hey Congressman Dan Goldman, we see that you stopped by our shop today for a coffee. Do you see how it doesn’t taste like genocide juice? Or are you still having a hard time telling the difference?” the post said.
The post added that the business would have turned him away if they recognized him.
“See, here at Poetica, we don’t serve racists, fascists, homophobes, genocide enablers, or anyone in between. Too bad we didn’t recognize you right away, or we would have turned you away. We issued you a refund—we don’t need your money (it’s probably coming from AIPAC anyways). Enjoy your loss on Tuesday. Don’t ever come to Poetica,” it added.
Mark Goldfeder, director of the National Advocacy Jewish Center, said Poetica’s mentioning of AIPAC “gave the game away” as to the owners’ conspiratorial leanings, per the New York Post.
“They put a huge amount of Jewish people on notice that they are not welcome,” Goldfeder said. “It’s not just about Dan Goldman. It puts a lot of Jews on edge.”
Mark Treyger, the CEO for the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, asserted that Poetica’s treatment of Goldman “absolutely violates New York’s human rights laws that bar discrimination.”
