123. If this is illegal, what about a senior citizen discount? Isn't that

discriminating against younger people? What about "ladies' night"...gender discrimination?

What about military discounts?

What about police officer/fire fighter discounts?

What about hotels that offer special room rates for government employees, military, etc.? They even sometimes offer "internet only" specials for booking your room. Is that discriminating against those who do not have internet access readily available?

I'm sure there are other examples as well.

If they refused service to someone because of their race, religion, etc. then you would have an argument. No one is being denied service.
