This market is near my work and I used to stop there every day if I needed gas or a soda on the way home. I am not a conservative but I can admire the owners' beliefs and how entrenched they are in them. Things have been fine until my most recent trip there. The lady in front of me was treated with kindness and respect. I was told I was "out of it" because it wasn't immediately obvious to me that the cigarettes weren't kept behind the counter. This was followed with the coldest "have a good day" I've ever heard. It was in the same tone as someone might say, "screw you." I have no idea why the owner chose to treat me so hatefully but I won't be coming back. I think there might be a few passages in the bible about how you should treat people.
