Muslim Customers: Transgender Woman and Anger Customers

muslim customers: But the Open to All coalition is launching in a highly charged atmosphere, with florists refusing to provide flowers for gay weddings and stores turning away Muslim customers, according to CTV. On the same June weekend that White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was asked to leave a Virginia restaurant because of her affiliation with U.S. President Donald Trump, a transgender woman was harassed by staff at a Washington restaurant for using the women's restroom. Normally, making a promise to serve every customer might seem like a no-brainer. So it remains to be seen if the Open to All message -- on businesses' Yelp pages or on stickers in their windows -- will calm frayed tempers or anger customers and businesses who might question its motives. She's not worried that it will be a turn-off to some potential patrons. Tia Agnew, co-founder and CEO of New Day Craft, an Indianapolis-based producer of mead and cider, is excited to put up her Open to All window sticker, which she says matches her personal and professional ethos.
