    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.
