    I kind of feel like this is kind of one of those rare cases where we should ideally be letting the free market do its thing.

    If a print shop, bakery, etc. wants to refuse your business on ideological grounds like this, you take your business elsewhere and tell everyone else to do the same.

    It of course kind of falls apart with big companies like office Depot, where they’ve often driven all of the local competition out of business and someone can just keep running their complaint up the corporate chain of command until they reach a soulless bean-counter who only sees dollar signs.

      Except then you run into the issue of all the print shops / bakeries / whatever in, say, Tuscaloosa, Alabama, refusing black patrons work on “ideological grounds”
