I am sorry, if you are in business, you should not be displaying or discussing political views.

[marybourg]

1. Scary. Businesses In Germany used to display

Hitler's picture.

[geomon666]

2. I encourage their political displays.

Let's me know which businesses to avoid.

[a kennedy]

[awoke_in_2003]

5. Yep...

if I see that or a Stars and Bars, I will gladly spend my money elsewhere.

[DesertFlower]

6. and the workers should not talk about their

political views.

[liberal N proud]

13. Exactly

I have walked out of business when they start going there. Once I let my wife collect all the things she wanted as the employee behind the counter got political with me. When she was finished and set them on the counter, I looked at her and said, I think we will like the shop across the street better.
She understood once I explained.

7. Could someone please render Trump in the Cyrillic alphabet?

I mean, they play bridge over there, right?

[zippythepinhead]

8. good idea

fuck trumpbots.

[WhiteTara]

9. Personally, I ask who they voted for

and if they say Trump, I explain why I will not do business with them. Mostly they seem surprised.

10. First sales job I had was back in the late 1960s.

Manager told me right off the bat never, ever talk politics or religion with the customers.

11. I know Hardee's totally lost my business

not that I ever went there much anyway.

[rpannier]

12. I'd go in like I was going to do business with them and the casually notice the signs

then tell them I can't do business with supporters of Il Douchebag

14. I can't agree with that. I just can't: though you may well be right.

I ran a small business for 38 years, and I took it as my right to be political. I'm in a Southern town, NC, and with all that has happened over all this time I had to make a choice. I was the boss and I was making a choice, but keeping my mouth shut would have been like being encased in ice. I chose to be myself, and yes, at times I lost customers. Especially when I would get a right wing email with many recipients saying things like: "The in-niggeration happened today".
I would then take an hour or more to compose something and then reply to all.
So over time that crap stopped, and I did lose some folks, but gained others.

Over the last half a year I would call up Trump display displaying businesses, tell them of whatever I need, and then tell them which of their competitors I would take it to, and why they are not getting it.

For me, keeping my mouth shut about what's going on around me is not a way I can live..

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

16. Thank you for that Mira

We have to speak up, silence is acceptance.......

[Mira]

21. Thank you,

my dear friend. As you said that I remembered my current signature line....

[hughee99]

15. Would you have passed by stores with a Clinton sign? Nt

[liberal N proud]

17. I probably would go in, do business with them and tell them the politics is a really bad idea.

I try to keep politics, religion and business separate.

[hughee99]

19. Honestly, I feel the same way. While I don't think

Businesses or employees should get into political discussions or statements at work at all, if they have the same politics as I do, I'm willing to overlook it.

[Equinox Moon]

18. In my neighborhood, two private property fences were spray painted: FUCK TRUMP !!!

[liberal N proud]

20. Are they businesses?

[Equinox Moon]

22. private homes

In regards to businesses, freedom of speech wins out. People can do what they want.

[liberal N proud]

23. And I don't have to shop there

Money wins.
