complaint, then it was loud enough for her to
witness to the Shift Manager. What would I
expect as a consumer? I would expect the store
to ask the people to leave if they persist in
offensive behavior in public. (snip)


With the possibility of lawsuits, I doubt many stores would be that overt
today. Many of the offensive language laws of the past have been struck down
as unconstitutional (enough that few stores would want to take much of a
chance pushing the issue)
