*« We don’t give out vouchers to such families, only those comprised of a mother and father. »*
The daughters started crying.
Yet again, the “we worry about the children” slogan from the homophobes is proven to be a manifest of sheer pathetic hypocrisy.
The article had 8 comments when I first started reading it, all except one were vile and hateful. One piece of trash even wrote “if one of the guys can attest he’s the female in the couple, I’m sure they’ll obtain the voucher”. I reported most of them, and by the time I finished writing my own comment and tried to post it, the comment section had been disabled.
What consequences do y’all believe the employee should be facing? For those who don’t think she deserves to be fired, would you have shown the same tolerance if she had denied a black family their request for a voucher, claiming it’s only for whites?

Bha c’est bien le canton du Valais hein… C’est pas Genève ou Lausanne … Bienvenue dans la vraie suisse quoi
For those that don’t speak French or want to trouble google translate the TLDR is:
Cashier didn’t want to give the family rate for “such families”. Clients behind them tried to intervene on the couple’s behalf and after 4 attempts the supervisor was called who gave them the family rate. The company has since extended their apologies and promised to “deal with this internally”.

I could see how someone would deny that. It’s a private business I mean
I don’t think the cashier had the mental ability to really process the situation.
It is easy on the internet to think it is righteous to bully a bully. However, maybe he was really just a very, very dumb person who had a very bad day.
One good thing was the way how the bystanders and his supervisor reacted and defended the couple. For me, they are the heroes of the story because it shows that they understood everything right.
And for the cashier, I think he learned a lesson.
I’m curious…what is the legal definition of a family in Switzerland? Anyone know?
Look, if someone really wants to argue: most places my family went to as a kid gave us the family ticket as long as there were two adults. Even when maybe my grandma accompanied my mom or an aunt or whatever.
I even accompanied my mom to a museum when she brought the kids of a family friend when I was 19 and we still got the family ticket.
This person was just a homophobic pos and arguing with what‘s the „rules“ is just total bs.
