The powers that be told everyone it wasn't racist, people bought it. The end.
Not to mention the fact that there is something inherently wrong when these entities think it is okay to blatantly disrespect the President of the United States in this manner.

I think wearing shirts and using slogans such as "Do you smell what Barrack is cooking" and "Barrack the Vote" are blatant disrespect of the Presidency. Do you agree with that?
It was some stupid customer. Do you really think an employee would risk their job pulling a prank like this? Especially when jobs are hard to come by these days. And if it had been an employee, I'm sure someone would have found out and they would have gotten fired. That still does not make B&N as a national the bad guy.
Think of it this way. I'm assuming you're a member of a Greek organization. How would you feel if there was some random person, who hung out with members of your organization, did something horribly wrong... and other unknowing people thought this person was a member of your org, started boycotting it and spreading around how bad this org was?
One bad apple doesn't make a whole entity guilty... and this bad apple wasn't even a member of their team.
