Personally? No, but that doesn't mean the government can't regulate. McClung dealt with a lunch counter in Alabama, if I remember correctly.
The proximity to interstate and the fact that Ollie's BBQ was often patronized by travelers is what lead the court to find that the business was sufficiently related to interstate commerce such that the federal law could be applied.
You understand that this doesn't apply to all businesses, right? Not to mention that the current court would be hesitant to apply the commerce clause so loosely.

The opinion essentially stated hat Ollie's diner had zero effect in interstate commerce. It was the fact that allowing discrimination to happen everywhere effected interstate commerce negatively.
