(133,960 posts)As for the corporate mindset. . I stopped shopping at Hobby Lobby long before knowing what reichwing assholes they were, based on one experience I had. A friend and I had gone into our local one for something she was specifically looking for. I decided to use the restroom, which was located at the back of the store down a very dark hallway. I happened to notice a small sign, almost invisible, that read that anybody entering that store gave them the right to challenge you, to assume you were shoplifting, even to the point of challenging you even to the point of physicality at your car. I took the note down, found my friend and showed it to her, and then we went to the manager to express our displeasure. I said, if that was the way they felt, that notice needed to be on the front door, in large letters, so that people could decide whether they wanted to shop where management presumed that everybody was a thief, and threatened them. That was some 20 years ago, and neither of us has been in one since.
