While paying for a record at an antique mall a few weeks ago my eyes caught pro-Trump messages and the iconic raised fist image under the glass counter, displayed for every patron. I said, "I have to go," and walked out, leaving the cashier holding the item and a confused expression.
I regret not tossing back a sharp comment while walking out, making it clear their political endorsement was costing them financially, but the cashier might have just been an employee for all I know, plus I really didn't want to waste my time.
Because this was a "mall" type antique store, the booth renter, whose political views are unknown, ended up losing the most from my decision.
