HATE to read posts that break down every sentence into fragments and then responds to each separately.
I apologize to readers in advance.
If I had something for sale, I can say I am not selling it to you...I don't even have to give a reason.
If you put up an item for consideration, that is an offer.
If your offer is accepted, a contract has been established.
The only way the state could force my hand is if I had a contract with that person. Without that there is nothing they can do to me.
A contract is an offer that has been accepted.
You don't have the option to void the contract.
In retail, if you put a price on something and someone decides to purchase the item, a contract has been entered into.
You and I are used to custom contract work. Specifications and price is agreed to by buyer and seller before any product exists. No agreement then no contract, no obligations.
You seem pretty certain on this, and it does make sense that could be considered a contract.
It is the definition of a contract.
However, restaurants can throw you out for whatever reason, most of them have the sign on the wall still.
A sign like "No Dirty [race] Allowed"? Unenforceable.
Granted I own/co own a few businesses of varying areas, however, I don't look to throw people out or anything like that for stupid reasons. Only times I have is for disturbing the peace, threats etc, which once it becomes criminal acts they have lost their rights on my property. Other than than, I really don't know of much.
If someone is being threatening you drag them outside by the nut sack and drop them in the street.
If nobody is looking you kick 'em in the face.
Are there any examples of court cases filed and won for someone refusing to sell something with the price marked? Such as I try to buy a blender from a store and they simply say not for sale, or I won't sell it to you.
10 or so years ago I was last minute Christmas shopping at 'Play Co.', a low budget Toys R Us wannabe. Picked out a toy offered at $8.00.
Scanned at the register for $11.00.
I told her it was $8.00. She said 'no $11.00'
It was like 10:30pm. Long line of last minute procrastinators behind me. I could feel their displeasure at what they sensed was going to unfold.
Full of attitude she asked, "You want it or not?
I cupped my hands like a megaphone and blasted, "WE NEED A MANAGER ON ISLE 3 !!!"
He had an attitude at first until I said, "Do you really want to get sued?"
When I picked the toy off the shelf at the posted price a contract was established.
The transfer of money was just a way to satisfy the contract.
