Apparently, wokeness is alive and well in other places besides N America.

This is fantastic.

You made a choice to eat a certain way. We've made a choice to not cater to that. We respect your choice. You should respect ours.

I like that. On a related note, I'm thinking about the issue. In the following situation

We opened a business that does X. X does not cater to specialized needs/desires XY. Is that discrimination against the XY folks?

My first reaction is "no, that's not discrimination."

But I believe it could be used as discrimination. Is discrimination universally bad? If you have to cater to every specialized group, does that potentially end up discriminating against other groups.

I'm still leaning towards that it's perfectly fine to say "we do X" and if you require us to do XY or X^2 or X-3, we are sorry that we can't accommodate you, but we are happy for you to go somewhere else.

I have heard folks say that "discrimination is bad" period. And I guess from a certain point of view, that might be true, but I believe that's a myopic view, because when trying to not discriminate against anything, chances are you are going to have to discriminate against something. It's just that often times, folks think that certain discrimination is bad, but other discrimination is OK.
