Ladies' Night Is Under Attack

"Historically, “Ladies’ Nights” have been great for business.

Discounted drinks or meals tend to draw a large crowd of women, which in turn tends to draw more men – which then leads to packed bars and increased sales for the business.

But a family-run restaurant in the San Francisco Bay Area is shutting down this week because it can’t afford to operate after it settled a “Ladies’ Night” discrimination lawsuit, CNN affiliate KGO reported last week. John Marquez, the chef and owner of Lima Restaurant in Concord, told the outlet that it hasn’t been able to bounce back after settling a lawsuit over a promotion that discounted drinks for women."

Ana is right. It’s not about the ladies night being allowed. If someone makes a complaint, the business should get a call from someone official saying sorry but you aren’t allowed to do that. $30k should never be in the picture.

everybody knows this society upholds the women, More of these things are going to happen, No more Excuses

[dejanzmaric]

in small business bars, caffes ... there is unwritten rule, "You attract ladies, men will follow them".

About daggum time. It is gender discrimination.

[gastarbeiter]

its their own fault...if you set the example of seeing discrimination in everything and complaning then it doesn't take long for others to do the same.

[pholklore]

If you cannot define what a woman is or even what a man is anymore then gender specific nights seems outdated right? I mean right? The never ending comedy over this stuff is peak

[duncanmil]

How is it different then hair salons have low prices just for men?
