Certainly their right to do so, but not a smart business model.

Honestly, do you think businesses should turn to constant conflict/combat/policing of the public based on a disagreement with a customer's viewpoints?

I am waiting to be accosted for it. My response is ready; "It has nothing to do with Covid, it is to filter the filthy smell of conservatives." It may cause grocery store road rage, but I am beyond caring.
