HA! Go ahead, Stephen, it's a useless gesture. Why would anyone care if people knew they were shopping in a legal retail establishment? If I walk into a store, I don't care who knows about it.
Really, you wouldn't care...even if it is an adult store? That is very open and honest of you. But I think a majority of people would care...even though the vileness of porn IS becoming very mainstream. Very discouraging.
Hmmmmm not even your wife?
I can understand the concern if this is close to a residential area
Who wants their kids exposed to a smut store?
Within a week of opening this porn shop will have drug dealers and prostitutes hanging in the parking lot. I predict a shooting within 6 months of opening.
I can see why the neighborhood objects to its presence.
In five years it will have materially affected their safety and the resulting crime statistics will negatively affect their property values, especially if a few chi chi bars open up near-by. It's simple broken windows economics.
The best way to drive them out of business is to have a bevy of mothers with children pass out free cookies and pamphlets during peak business hours.
So, you wouldn't mind your name being published in the paper for shopping in a porn shop?
