German Cafes Stop Selling Pork Sausages to Spare Muslim Refugees' Feelings

Businesses can do whatever they please. If you don't like it, stop buying from them. Welcome to capitalism.

It's entirely their decision, but of course people are trying to pretend it's because of the nasty Muslims.

Businesses can do whatever they please. If you don't like it, stop buying from them. Welcome to capitalism.

No they can't. Look at ashers bakery

Actually they can't.

If they choose not to have pork sausage in their product offering then that is their decision; they cannot be made to sell pork sausages.

And if they choose not to make a cake not supporting gay marriage?
Is it their decision or do they get fined?

How many sausage sellers also sell bespoke cakes? Are you sure you are in the right thread?

Isn't the right wing view of private property that the owners of it can do what they please with it?

This isn't the state forcing these cafes to stop selling pork, the owners are choosing to. Don't see the problem if you like capitalism and despise the stupid socialists.

But that rule isn't applied consistently, if it was this story wouldn't be talked about.

I replied to someone saying businesses can do what they want.
Ashers bakery never had a gay cake available and got in trouble for not making one.
These cafes did have pork and have stopped selling it.
Both are not selling a product related to what they do one is seen as acceptable and the other unacceptable there is actually little difference.

Questionable source, which if true should just invite you to place your custom elsewhere.

Absolutely ludicrous to suggest that wurst will die a death because of Islam.

So they want it to be applied to this? Even more market interference?

But in this case it is the owners exercising their liberty over what they sell. There are no external pressures preventing them from selling pork like the state telling them not to. Unless you count human morality or wanting to attract Muslim customers as external forces, but then that's all part of the market. So again, it comes down to right wingers being authoritarians when markets don;t do what they like, in this case an influx of outsiders is scaring them and effecting what the market makes. So they want the state to exercise it's biggest authoritarian power, it's borders. Or force the shop owners to sell pork? Again authoritarian.

The two situations are entirely different. The bakery's problem was concerning a service (the addition of a political message to a cake), not the supply of a product. The business provides a service, but, the court decided, refused to sell it in a way that infringed on a protected characteristic. In this case the business has just decided not to sell a product.
