Never said it was a crime. But that doesn't stop you from calling the police....and they wouldn't laugh. The point of calling the cops though is to embarrass the establishment, drive away business, and make sure they never do it again. As I said though, this kind of discrimination practically never happens.
Agree with you on Cicada and Elios.
