Talk:Invitee

This article needs citations.
The assertion at the beginning of this article that

...an invitee is a person who is invited to land by the possessor of the land as a member of the public....

and a similar assertion at the end of the article that

It should be noted that a property owner who selectively limits entry to the property - to paying customers, to a set number of people, or even in a discriminatory fashion - is nonetheless opening the property to invitees, so long as the property owner holds the property open to some segment of the general public.

needs to be qualified. There is at least one case that suggests that even if a business is open to the public, when a member of the public enters onto the property for a purpose that--although lawful--is not business-related, then that individual is a "bare licensee," rather than an invitee. See. Perhaps the assertion in the Wikipedia article is true generally with certain exceptions, or maybe is true in some states and not in others.

Also, the article itself just plain needs references; otherwise, how do we know, for example, that it was not copied and pasted from another source? 69.143.80.200 04:11, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Confusion or conflict?
There are issues with the little that is in the article. In the forth paragraph of the lead (pretty much all the article is) it states "There are generally two types of invitees i.e. Business Invitee and Public Invitee.". The second to last sentence of the same paragraph states "Licensee is a person who enters certain property with express or implied permission of the land occupier and no business purpose is involved.". There is either three "types" of invitees or a "licensee" is another form of "Public Invitee". That would still mean there are three "types" though. I don't know about other states or countries (yet) but in Louisiana there would be further conflicts. There is just too much that is missing. Otr500 (talk) 00:40, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
