    To be fair, the store employees were getting attacked by homophobes over the items. It is very understandable corporate doesn’t want to risk further violence.

    Still, I agree that those are exactly the places the support is needed the most in.

      Most gas stations in my town have full time armed security because a homeless person might steal some food.

      Wouldn’t be hard to hire armed security to keep your customers from being attacked by angry bigots, I’d imagine.

      It all boils down to a line on a spreadsheet. 😐
