whatever. the problem isn't him not accepting the gay people. like i said, it's his right to not agree with the lifestyle. but to deny them service, when it's his fuckin job, is fuckin wrong to the max. he's being paid to be a service clerk, not to be some judgemental bastard.
Don't get me wrong, but what exactly do you think this will escalate to ? It's no Imus story, not like Al Sharpton's going to come out and boycott the place. Discrimination is a way of life in this world, those that won't tolerate it will be the first to discriminate and they'll play the card that they were discriminated against as the reason for their behavior. The other fellow, well, he went the extra yard and made sure the girl/someone else served them, what's the big deal. There are things I say "no" to in my job just the same, because if I listen to who is trying to get me to do it, they feel it's my job, but in reality, not because it's discrimination, but because someone else is looking for me to automate the job and thus take full accountability and responsibility for what they get paid to do for that instance and going forward. Stick around long enough in this world and you'll find there are those that will saddle you with more responsibility than they pay you for, take the credit for it and self promote your accomplishments as their own.
I understand your point, but your co-worker has points built up in the system, he comes in as he pleases to a certain extent, because he paved that road with extra effort elsewhere. You call it brown-nosing, he calls it networking. You call it discrimination, he'll call it delegating or even declining the opportunity so that one that is better able to serve the customer provides better customer service. In the end he'll probably spin it to get a promotion out of this ? Realize Teflon suits when you see them. He can always spin you and any co-workers collusion as an attempt to sabotage his standing, one that he has worked hard for by doing other tasks and jobs ? Could it be that you or any other co-workers might be jealous of his favored status ? If the customers aren't complaining to management, what makes you think taking this up is going to have any legs ? That is to say, if those wronged aren't pursuing or demanding satisfaction, did it even happen ? Bottom line, do you have anything other than what the one customer said to you ? Anything in writing ? I don't mean to be callous, but that's what anyone that gets involved legally would ask.
