http://www.towleroad.com/2016/11/floor-and-decor/Shawlin said he had returned to the store complaining about some damaged stone slabs he had bought for an interior renovation when the alleged assault happened, 9 News reports:
I was a little firm with him, and I just told him, hey, you know, my husband and I spend a lot of money here. Weve been using you guys for ten years. We have $3,000 worth of stone. Shawlin said. And [the manager] goes, oh, that explains it now. The faggot that voted for Hillary.
Shawlin said another customer in the aisle whod overheard the exchange expressed his support for Donald Trump. Shawlin said the same customer followed him outside and used a derogatory term.
Got fascism?

(22,497 posts)around them shake their heads "no" or just ignore them like they did that guy on an airplane that stood up and announced he supported Trump and something about "Hillary bitches". There was another incident where some girl went bat shit when a black manager, (or cashier) suggested she buy a reusable bag for her larger items. She was yelling that she was being discriminated against because she was white. The woman who videotaped her for almost a 1/2 hour set up a Gofundme page for the cashier and said that about 10 people all stood around her supporting and protecting her. The page has almost $15,000 on it already
But then again, maybe not.

Sounds like a nice, ripe boycott target to me.
And yes, Yelp has noticed:
