As a regular person, if I saw this I would be glad they were saying something. I wouldn’t associate myself with it because I know that I bathe regularly and don’t smell like rancid asshole. I spent a lot of time the game store in my town when I was a kid and mfers that couldn’t wash properly were absolutely a problem.
You wouldn’t think that people seeing this sign, and then seeing you, would just assume you were one of the people affected by this sign? Or that the person who put the sign up was hostile towards their customers?
What of the myriad of other, actually effective methods to combat the problem, over this, a completely ineffective way?
If I was inside the store I would assume that people seeing me would know that I have passed the smell test and am therefore not part of the problem. The person that put up the sign is hostile towards stinky people and assholes, they’ve shown no ill-intent towards anyone else by posting this.

What of them? This is just doing the first step automatically. It’s the same concept as a no trespassing sign. By having it there they have already been given notice of the rules, and if they ignore it have no recourse when you escalate to kicking them out.
This makes no sense. You could kick them out the same regardless of the sign. The sign only serves the purpose I’m mentioning and I’ve not seen an argument otherwise.
By having the sign there, a certain percentage of stinky people are going to know they aren’t welcome and leave without having to be told. For those who ignore it, the employees of the store and other customers now all have a posted policy they can point to when they ask them to leave. Opposed to not having the sign and it being left open to argument.

That percentage is precisely 0.
People aren’t going in thinking they’re stink, and the ones who were before, won’t stop after.

It wouldn’t be left open to argument regardless.
All this does is insult their customer base. That’s literally it. It serves no practical or functional purpose.
Any time I see signs generally insulting a customer base like this, you’ve lost me as a customer. Not just specifically this sign, but any sign in general talking down to customers.
I can’t believe the number of people who support this.
Not at all.
If you are a regular person, it tells you that you are associated with this now.
It means you don’t want to go to a place that is associated with this.
You pretending you don’t understand my point doesnt make your argument sound.
