I’d like to go in there and chat music and social things we probably agree on. Have him thinking my libertarian arse is a lib without even telling a lie. All while loading up in a few hundred dollars worth of shite. Then throw my maga hat on and tell him to go frick himself.

I really think it’s time to add TDS as an official diagnosis in the next edition of the DSM.

Reading his yelp reviews, some 4-12 months ago, seems like he was on a one course to starvation and welfare checks for awhile. Very unstable individual.

yeah, to me its silly but I am not in his place.

A local coffee shop has a big sign that says if you are a racist or fascist, go shop some where else. It doesn't mention trump by name but its philosophy prominently posted. Doesn't seem to have effected its business.

This is probably true for anyone who owns a store solely for the purpose of selling music equipment. I literally only go in to them to test out products before ordering them online.

I take that back. I will buy strings and picks from a store because I don't want to wait.

Could you imagine the national uproar it would get if there was a sign that said “No Obama voters are welcome”

That being said imo he has every right to do it. And any Trump support has every right to go to his competitors

I’m not going to fault the guy. He’s willing to put his money where his mouth is on his convictions. Probably a really bad business decision, but thats on him. Now if only it could be equally applied if the sides were reversed (ie. Christian businesses being allowed to decline service for events that run counter to their religious beliefs)


I think its a great idea that small businesses self identify as anti MAGA.

The only thing I'd be concerned about is the color of their money. But, I'd rather know in advance that he doesn't my business. I'll gladly shop elsewhere.

Yelp Review 10/9/2018
My son has been going to Joes for quite a while. Up until today, we have never had a serious issue. Only that we have had to coach our son to refrain from slamming other shops and repeating Joes political ramblings. We chalked it up to quirky. Our son is curious and wants to do everything but is reaching his cap in multiple in & after school activities. He brought home a saxophone and information on leasing. We said no for multiple reasons. Long story short, he needs to focus in on 2 classes that are hovering around a "C".

Unfortunately, we dropped him off today for his 30 minute lesson that did not take place at all. Joe used the time to unleash his totally unfounded ramblings on my 12 y/o, swearing, making accusations, and refunding our payment for the month - telling the poor kid not to come back. My son was so upset, he was texting other family members to come get him. Joe went so far as to personally insult me to my son stating facts that have no correlation to anything - such as I have never stepped foot in the store so I shouldn't have an opinion - this caused my son confusion and unnecessary strife. I travel a ton for work and have two other kids. When I am in town, my husband and I do what many parents do - divide and conquer. Further, my husband has paid the bill from day one. Joe passive-aggressively wrote the refund check in my name.

I'm SO GRATEFUL that things didn't escalate beyond that. How an adult could become unhinged with a defenseless kid like this is totally beyond me. I question whether or not he is fit to work with children. I see that Joe discredited another persons review. Just so it's abundantly clear, this situation happened and a BBB complaint has been filed. Joe took his frustration out on a child and has not contacted my husband or I about this. We are SO appalled and disgusted by his behavior.



Another Review:

Awesome job attacking previous customers for bad experiences at your shop. I'm sure it helps uncertain customers choose your store for future purchases. Oh and I checked your closest competitors, they didn't have the time to fix her instrument at that time but they told me upfront and gave me the number of the business that did the same day. Thanks for the lovely comments you said about me. It shows your level of maturity as a business owner able to accept criticism. Hope your business does well! By the way consumers I didn't even post the most vile things he said to me when I came to pick the instrument back up so beware. Maybe record any interactions you have with this "gentleman" so people can see who he really is. Hope your business does great!


Tolerance.

Imagine the meltdown if that sign was directed to Obama supporters during his presidency.

While I still think it is just a matter of self-indulgence, I don't think many gun stores or ranges suffered from calling out Obama voters.

I'm pretty sure he is unhinged enough to have destroyed all of the Trump-ets in the store
