This is still why we call what's left of our economy a "free market".
Any private (non-government) owned business can choose not to take your money. It's not discrimination. The insurance part of this thread is pretty far off topic as insurance is heavily regulated and it answers to state insurance comminsioners etc... Insurance is quite different. It can discriminate but it has to do it across the board (not just with one or two customers etc). Same thing as with an engine shop as example. If a builder decides that a given boat owner is too much of pain to deal with he is not forced to sell an engine. Boy there's a can of worms for ya... |

The only reason is because I am in Florida and some one else unrelated to me ripped some one off in Florida using companies good name so after that they refused any new customers in Florida no matter the size the fiberglass thing was an example.

This is a free country (well sorta), They can refuse to sell to anyone they like for any reason they want. There is no law that can make someone sell to you if they do not want to. It can be "Company Policy" and that is all they need to say.
Can't say I agree with it but that is how it is. |

Is it considered discrimination to not do business with someone because they are based in a certain state. Like let's say I want to buy fiberglass materials from a public company but they will not sell to me because I live in Florida and there are shady boat companies in Florida so they said we just won't start any new business in Florida only existing business will we deal with.

Well I seem to be getting a similar answer this is a public company do you think I should infirm some shareholders that they are refusing revenue does anyone have any ideas along these lines

I agree it is a stupid way running things. Did you offer to pre pay for any items you were wanting to get? |
The fiberglass thing was an example. It is not even involving products it is involving advertising the company will not let me advertise in there publication because someone else from Florida ripped people off a couple years ago but if you where from Florida and advertised before this person ripped people off then you can still advertise so yes it's paid up front
