People that I liked paid a lot less though...

For example if I make you a sandwich and you are a jerk, you pay $4.99. If you are cool $3.99.

I guess thats a lot better than an unwanted, non-traditional, unsanitary condiment.

I have no problem with a a$$ H-O {double hockey sticks} E charge. It helps drive away the kind of customer thats makes running your bussiness difficult.

I do wonder about the wisdom of baseing your price structure on socio-economic/political/personal beef's that have nothing to do with your buisness plan.

Correct I think its smart business. A$$'s make everyone miserable including the good customers. So in order to weed the a$$'s out you make there experiance unpleasent and they go away.

Wrong, that's just plain stupid. In business you never burn a paying customer even if their an a**hole. Is that what they taught you in college? You take their money and wish them a nice day.

No thats what I learned at a misserable $7 an hour job that I dispise to this day. I freaken hated that job and couldn't give a crap. I got paid the same crappy amount and had to put up with the same BS either way. So I figured at the very least we would get rid of some of the really bad customers. You know the ones that would scream so loud the people in the front of the store 100ft away would come back and wonder whats going on...they screamed because you did not put mustard on both sides of the sandwich.

Not a good experiance, honestly I still don't know how I kept my cool.

I don't judge the OP's actions, thats not for me to do. Would I have done it just because they worked for someone I may have not liked? No, but its not my business. If they never come back and he losses money well, its a free country maybe in the future he will regret that decision.
