41. Really bad business

Sat Sep 12, 2020, 03:11 PM

Sep 2020

When will these people learn? Keep you politics and/or religion out of your business. It is really bad business, as you undoubtedly are going to offend someone. Who can afford to lose customers during these difficult times? Guess this owner will learn the hard way, like so many others before him.
