This is part of why I usually back down (especially in the Guitar Center
case; they're rather rude about it too)...  If I stand for my civil rights,
that's great, but if Guitar Center in Durham tells me "you're no longer
welcome in our store," well, that kinda sucks for me.  Next nearest large
store like that is in Raleigh, and there's really nothing that compares to
having something in your hand as you evaluate purchasing it (even if I look
at it in the store, then go on to purchase it online).
