You're free to be an ignorant jerk about your religion, and I'm free to take my business elsewhere. In this case, I wonder if the message is actually illegal religious discrimination akin to saying "we don't serve non-Christians or non-believers".
All business owners should do this - would rather not give my money to someone who believes in fairy stories that tell us to discriminate against women and gays.
How about if you put 3 cents worth of gas on your credit card? And get a few thousand other people to do the same? Credit card transaction fees would surely upset the bigot. I mean the believer.
That's the nice thing about this country. If you agree with the guy, keep going there. If you don't, just go to the next gas station.
ReplyDeleteI did think it was interesting that they either couldn't find someone who disagreed or just didn't put them in the report.

Well I for one would not be going there, and I find it a bit of a worry that these people think like that.

ReplyDeleteYour gas station, your message. My money says go elsewhere, but who am I to argue with your statements of belief?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nathan

ReplyDeleteI, however, would make it a point to shop elsewhere.

ReplyDeleteI'm a (non-fundamentalist) Christian and I would jump back in my car and drive to the next station.
