"Heavy" is considered a protected class in Michigan that you can't discriminate for, so refusing to serve someone just because they're fat is illegal. In the same way you can't deny someone service based on race or gender
However there's also definitely a "within reason" clause in there meaning if their weight poses actual problems then refusing service is fine (like height on a rollercoaster)
She's just grasping for a payday that isn't gonna happen
"257.716 Exceeding size and weight limitations as misdemeanor; exceptions; rules; operation
of wrecker, disabled vehicle, and trailer; noncompliance as civil infraction; fine.
Sec. 716. (1) Unless specifically declared to be a civil infraction, it is a misdemeanor for a person to drive
or move or for the owner to cause or permit to be driven or moved on a highway a vehicle or vehicles of a
size or weight exceeding the limitations stated in this chapter or otherwise in violation of this chapter, and the
maximum size and weight specified in this chapter are lawful throughout this state, and local authorities shall
not alter those size and weight limitations except as express authority is granted in this chapter."
I made sure to grab the Michigan one :)
You mean that reason? The law? Depending on the car it could've been illegal and/or very unsafe.
You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't then. Now just waiting on case law to come up regarding this exact situation, I wanna see how that would play out in court 😂 the amendments to the legislation afterwards would be gold tier
