Now you're just being dismissive.Now you're just being silly.But you have to be a member (Ralphs club card) to get their discounts.A public business is a business which opens its doors to the public. A private institution has members. You don't have to be a member to shop at Ralph's.
I would say that is a fair assessment.
Actually no, you are not right. I've owned my own business for over 28 years now and open to the public does not mean publicly owned. I've tossed out numerous characters, and turned down jobs based on my beliefs (promoting abortion). I would turn down a gay wedding, celebration, whatever event but would lie about it since they are using government to strong arm private citizens.Wrong. You cannot redefine terms to suit yourself.A public business is a business which opens its doors to the public. A private institution has members. You don't have to be a member to shop at Ralph's.
What is private company definition and meaning
private company
Definition
Business firm in the private (non-public) sector of an economy, controlled and operated by private individuals (and not by civil servants or government-employees). Used also as an alternative term for private limited company.
Actually, I'm right but you have to consider the terms in the context of the discussion.
I didn't say it was publicly owned. I said it was open to the public. In the context of this discussion, there is a difference between a business which is open to the public (like a grocery store) and a private club (such as a gentlemen's club). A private club is free to apply whatever restrictions it desires, such only Chinese women allowed. A public business cannot. You, of course, must do whatever your conscious directs you. However, the law applies to everyone equally. So you can either follow the law or not, with the consequences either of those decisions carry.
You don't have a right to operate a business. That is why it requires a license.
