Sure, if you have evidence to prove what you claim. Do you have witnesses? If so, then feel free to contact me to discuss the case value vs costs, if the case is in SoCal courts.

If you know that discrimination is the reason, you would have a case under Civil Code section 51, the Unruh Civil Rights Act.

Re: service refusal

While Mr. Cohen's answer is correct, this is not worth suing about. It's one thing to use these laws to protect the rights of disadvantaged minorities. Its another to use them on petty issues like this one. Get a life, and get on with it. You must have better things to do with your time, mind and energy.
