I am sure you make sure all parties involved are not disqualified. That could be embarrassing and cost you your license, among other things.

While in the furiniture store today, the salesman had my business until he made a comment about gun ownership. (Stacy's Furniture on 75) His comment, "Why would any idiot feel the need to carry a gun all the time" Cost the store a rather large purchase.

I had a similar incident at a furniture store only it wasn't about guns. My family and I walked in to the store and were looking around at new living room furniture. The majority of the sales people were not busy and sitting down. I walked over and asked if we could get some assistance. They said yea in one minute. So, I walked back and kept an eye on them. They continued to sit there for 10 more min. At that point I walked over and asked to speak to the manager and informed him why we were angry and that we would be taking our money elsewhere.

Another time I took the wife and kids out to get my wife some new diamond earrings (not only does she love diamonds but it is her birthstone). We walked into a jewelry store and were looking around. A girl at the counter looked right at us and didn't say anything. Ok, no big deal. At that point two more couples came in and she immediately greeted them very politely and started to show them jewelry. We immediately left and found a different store to purchase her earrings. As soon as we had them I walked back into the first store and asked to speak to the manager. I explained to her what happened and why we took our business elsewhere and showed her the receipt of the purchase they had missed out on.

I can only assume that the jewelry store incident was due to how we were dressed. Country shirts, jeans and cowboy boots. The only reason I say that is that it was not the first time we were dressed like that and ignored in a jewelry store and the people that came in after us, in suits, were greeted very politely and helped before we were.

Just because someone does not look like they "belong" in your store does not mean that they will not be spending money in your store. Also, you have NO idea the beliefs of the person that is in your store. It is best to keep your personal opinions to yourself or you could lose business.
