Imagine the first lawsuit against these “NOT SO Brave” retailers who do not want to be responsible ( read as not lose a sale) for important appropriate behavior of customers in their stores.

Is it possible to be more cowardly and/or selfish ???…I don’t think so and I know that neither my family or friends will be shopping in these stores as they turn a blind eye to people and the law to just count their daily receipts.
