This was my initial thought. If A customer made a request (demand) that asinine, why is that person still a customer? They needed to be evicted ASAP, perhaps with a bit of public shaming in the process.

That German pamphlet from the Great War is also mentioned in episode 2 of “Watchmen”. They’re exposing a lot of people to aspects of African-American history that were aggressively ignored for years.

That’s what prompted me to post it. The show keeps incorporating bits of Black history that I personally know, but only because I actively endeavored to seek it out.

Precisely.

I thought about posting a question asking which reality would you choose if given the choice; Watchmen, circa 2019 or Real Life under 45, circa 2019… then I realized I dont actually want to open that particular can of worms.

First off, the victim should now own that restaurant. Second, the abuser should have to pay for a professional manager to run it so that the victim never has to work again.
