Should you ever open a business, be sure to follow your own guidelines of what a business needs to do and be. Stay open and staffed 24/7 so that no customer or potential customer ever feels imposed upon or slighted.

Remember, if you have closed hours or down times, you may be considered to be imposing your beliefs upon others...whether the beliefs be religious, cultural, lifestyle, or simply a personal preference. This would be an intolerable situation and should be avoided at all costs.

Also, if your business would be in the service industry, please don't charge overtime for work on weekends or holidays. That might also be construed as an imposition by your customers.

Thank you and hope to stop by your store and meet you one day at 3 AM

Oh good here we go. Look, no one has said anything about bringing or wanting to bring any harm to MtnMan. Pointing out his bigotry, stupidity, intolerance, idiocy and lack of respect is NOT HATE SPEECH. It’s time we start standing up to those who seem to think is perfectly acceptable to trample on the rights of others to believe what they want to believe.

How true that one fool can color the group. I've dealt with B&H for 30 years and I cannot tell you how meticulously honest they are. Returns are made w/o a problem and they have the best prices plus free shipping and no sales tax. How can you beat that?

Tolerance for the ignorant, as Christ said, forgive them as they do not know. How much do we forgive? Yum Kippor is asking forgiveness for our inability to forgive others. Many other religions have the same.
Anyway, I read the Jews own all the internet so we can shut it down if we want.
Happy Purim

Apparently you haven't read all of the replies. I have no problem with pointing out and exposing prejudice or discrimination or responding to outrageous comments. Look back and read the comments from the beginning. Some of them are as asinine as the original.

There's little left to be said, but I wouldn't want anyone thinking that by silence, I was supporting a thoughtless, bigoted remark. What's surprising is that MtnMan would think that a post such as that would be acceptable, despite the range of religious beliefs and non-beliefs among the Hoggers.

12 pages, and no response. I hope that's because he's thinking about not only what he said, but why he said it, and what's wrong about that attitude.

Well, I can dream, can't I?

I'm really proud to belong to a group that won't tolerate bigotry. I agree there is no hate speech in the replies.

I just tried to order something from B&H. Their site told me they don't accept online orders till 7PM on Saturday. I understand the reason: they are Jewish and observing their Sabboth. While I agree that in the U.S. they are welcome to do so I am also welcome to not have them impose their religious beliefs on me. So I'll never try to order from them again.

This is just for information. I fully expect everyone in the U.S. to be free to make their own decisions on this type of thing.

I won't have my wife wear a burrkah either.

I'm an atheist and even I find your post offensive! If you've done anything by posting this piece of nonsense it is to prove you are a bigot.

They have .... as a privately owned business ... they choose not to be open from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday ..... would you complain if I went to a devout Catholic doctor and demanded that he perform an abortion .... there a juristrictions in the U.S. that have Sunday Blue Laws .... if as a non believer .... should they be required to open for business on Sunday to accomodate me .... also I do not observer Christmas ..... Why should stores be closed on Christmas day .... I like to shop on that day but most stores and business are closed ..... your problem has less to do with convience and more to do with your dis-like of Jews ..... I am certain they would not miss your business ..... there prices are the best and I am certain that if you wanted to buy something and B&H were the least expensive .... you would wait .... if you didn't ..... you are a fool ...

It looks very much like this is moving away from debate,and into the realms of Anti religion.
Even if the poster is wrong,I believe in the freedom to voice an opinion. But some of the remarks are starting to err on the side of nasty. sorry but I had to say it.
