I can see both sides of the arguement, they should treat all people as equals, but if they let standards inside their shops slide no one will use their cafes. Does anybody really appreciate sitting next to a dirty smelly person while they are eating or drinking, whether they are homeless or not? Not me and if we are honest no one does. What's the answer .....I don't have one.
I don't know how many people remember the Chinese buffet chain Foody Goody, but the bums used to hit these places quite frequently because they were all you can eat. I remember going to one in Victoria(I think it was on Fort, but I'm not sure), and having a couple of .....fragrant, soap challenged, domicile deficient individuals who sat across from us. To this day I remember one saying to the other, "George, you're supposed to use a fork not your hands, this is a classy place not a doughnut shop!" I don't know which was funnier, referring to Foody Goody as classy or admonishing him for his table etiquette.
