Woman says she was thrown out of barber shop for being female


Recommended Posts

If that was the case it is difficult to imagine why, after protest, the hairdresser didn't cut the woman's hair. It would be the perfect opportunity to really make a dog's breakfast of the job, with no comeback whatsoever.

 

This is the bit I don't get, when I am paying for someone to provide me with a service I want them to want to provide it, I wouldn't want to give money to someone that is being forced to provide the service because it every likely to be a poor service.

Well, I suppose she could refuse to pay, and then stand outside telling people what a bad job he'd done...

Civil law is still the law.

 

Quite. He would have to sue her. He couldn't call the police and expect them to do anything re making her pay. So he would curse her and move on with his life.

 

He has provided a shoddy haircut, she got it free. Both end up winners :-p

But that would be against the law.

 

She would obviously be withholding payment for a breach of the implied contract which was a suitably skilled haircut. Nothing illegal about a civil contract disagreement.

Suing costumers for non payment is very easy and inexpensive, walking out a shop without paying for the service that was provided is also theft.

 

Theft Act 1978

1978 CHAPTER 31

 

Subject to subsection (3) below, a person who, knowing that payment on the spot for any goods supplied or service done is required or expected from him, dishonestly makes off without having paid as required or expected and with intent to avoid payment of the amount due shall be guilty of an offence.

 

Any person may arrest without warrant anyone who is, or whom he, with reasonable cause, suspects to be, committing or attempting to commit an offence under this section.

If the shop fails to provide a satisfactory service then it isn't theft, it's a contract dispute.
