“They specifically chose the most densely Orthodox populated areas, specifically with the intent because those areas are densely Orthodox without them overly affecting non-Orthodox customers. “
And you know this to be a fact because….you thought of it so it must be?
It is not discrimination to target a population that has a record of doing what they claim. If the population happens to be frum, or white or black, so be it.
Do we know that they didn’t keep records of every sale and return during every season for every demographic? Do we KNOW that they didn’t make this policy after conversations with individuals who insisted on finding loopholes? Do we KNOW that they didn’t do this as a last resort?
P.S.I’m still sick to my stomach thinking that there are even communities who have people like this in them. It’s really hard to focus on what policies the store may have put into place to protect their merchandise.
