Sometimes you do not have to stop patronizing a place. Sometimes you can express your discontent and some companies will respond to keep your business. I have complained to a business about its racially bigoted (disguised as anti-Bush liberal Democrat humor) advertising. They were wise to discard of the advertising while I was still in the store and apologize that their inappropriate humor offended me. I appreciated their quick response and that the owner and employees did not give me the "we do what we please" speech. I still patron the store sometimes but I still am shocked that they thought that advertisment was a good idea in the first place.

Oh, you posted a "Would you like some bigotry with your nuggets" meme? What a human rights activist you are.
Can you and AlphaFrog please explain what this means? LOL.
