Seafra said:There is a difference between discussing tarot in public and doing readings in public. I'm going to assume here, which I hate, that you have not read in public often. I've had a few hairy experiences with bible thumpers and have been accused of working on behalf of the Devil. I don't want that happening in the lobby.
You know, I don't think you need to justify your position one bit - you're in a business where your job is to act as your employer's representative to create an atmosphere that is reflective of what they want to present. You've said your employer would be livid to find readings being done in the lobby - end of story. Your job is to not allow situations that will make your employer livid.
But I do hope you can understand that at a personal level... it can get aggravating that in a situation where one person is quietly reading cards and another person comes up and starts bible thumping and hurling accusations about the Devil here... its the quiet one that is labeled the disruption that needs to be removed.
Again... no argument at all that you need to focus on what your employer's policies and wishes are, but wouldn't it be great when disruptions are based on actually being disruptive rather than quietly doing something that disruptive people can loudly take issue with?
