would you like some hate with your gas?

A gas station in Rim Forest, California dispenses receipts which proclaim that marriage is between a man and a woman.

I find it unbelievable that a business owner would do this. When I was growing up, my step-dad owned a furniture store in town. And he would have NEVER gotten involved publicly in any political issue. There's a good reason for this: he didn't want to potentially offend any of his customers.

Business owners don't seem to have that same common sense today. During the Prop H8 campaign, I saw at least two delivery trucks with Yes on H8 signs on the back.

As a citizen, you are certainly entitled to your opinion. But, as a business owner, you must expect retribution for expressing views on a controversial subject in a business setting. After all, you're going to piss off a good chunk of your clients and potential clients.

Rim Forest is in Riverside County, so I'm not all that surprised some idiot gas station owner would put this message on a receipt. Had I received such a receipt, there would have been an ugly scene inside the gas station.
