56. That's in your face, no doubt. But it sets forth the owner's requirements unequivocally.

I have no problem with it. Anyone who enters with an *attitude* needs their ass handed to them. The owner's terms indicate the right to self-protect, protect the employees and the need to protect shoppers on premises from idiots that are mere provocateurs. This needs to be on signage in every market and retail establishment in the country in my opinion. People should feel safe venturing out to shop for whatever, wherever and not feel as if their lives are on the line (which they are frequently). I cringe every time I have to walk myself into a supermarket. I don't know what I'll encounter most of the time.
