Umm, Leigh - how would you rationalize this position with your initial post on this thread, where you recommended this course of action in response to a theater manager asking a customer to leave their baggage outside?

Leigh [emphasis added]:
I would first complain to higher managment. But one would do it as a solicitors letter.
For:
Sex discrimination.
Libel/slander/defamation/breach of her duty of care to you.

Make it extremely clear that you will have satisfaction. One way or another, and the only satisfaction you will accept is her dismissal.


Requiring some $12/hr theater manager to be sacked in response to enforcing a no bags policy - is that graceful and non-threatening, or perhaps would it put their back up against a wall?



There are some letters that it is better to have written for you. Politely nasty. As apposed to nasty-nasty. Which will only get you arrested for threatening behaviour. It also gives notice that you are serious.

I have to point out that the Theater Manager was being a petty, bigoted tyrant. Towards men. If she was enforcing a no bags policy then she should be enforcing it according to law. With out distinction of race, sex etc.

In my case going nuclear would have been counterproductive. Unless they had told me to .... off. At that point I would have sort remedy through a court.
