Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Pennsylvania
discrimination
After I resigned my position as a General Manager for a restaurant I returned to the store only to be told by a friend that works there that I was not allowed in the store and was to be removed by force if neccessary. I want to know, without posting a sign refusing service to someone, can they deny me service legally? do I have a case to sue for discrimination?

Re: discrimination
A person has the right to control access to private property. Generally a restaurant may refuse service to anyone so long as they do not refuse for an unlawful reason (race, creed, color, national origin, sex, etc.) In fact, if the institution wanted to, it could get a restraining order claiming you were harassing clients and interfering with business.
Looking backward is a good way to fall while going forward. Instead of going back, move on with your life and forget that place.
