Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Massachusetts
Obnoxious restaurant patron.
I am a bartender at a restaurant in Massachusetts. We have a regular customer who has been coming to the restaurant five or six days a week for about a year. She frequently walks back into the kitchen, talks to the other guests and will say rude obscene things to waitstaff that she doesnt like. I have regular customers that refuse to sit in the lounge when she is there and any employees have refused to wait on her. Management has told me that they can't ask her not to come back because she can sue us. Does she have a case? I suspect they dont want her to leave because they discount her food almost every day for some reason. Do I have a case against the restaurant for loss of income from my regular customers that won't sit near her or for management's lack of action that has created a hostile work environment?
-Thank You.

Re: Obnoxious restaurant patron.
No you don't have a claim. Whether she has a claim is not the point, apparantly your boss doesn't want the expense of defending a lawsuit even if it is frivilous.
