I went to Myer's Market (4684 Airport Boulevard Mobile, AL 36608) today out of necessity in that my fuel tank was on empty. This store is on the corner of General Bullard Boulevard and Airport Boulevard across from the Harbor Freight shopping center and Firestone on their right. While in the store I also purchased a coffee.
I paid for the coffee and fuel and left the store. About halfway between their front door and my vehicle out in the parking lot a woman calls out "Sir!" "Sir!" I only turned around after she kept on with the "Sir!" since there weren't but a couple of customers on the entire property.
She then approached me and stated, "I don't want you to take this the wrong way ... and I know Alabama is an open carry state, but ..." and then she went on to explain that "guns scare me" and that she "didn't want me coming into the store open carrying again." I told her that wasn't a problem, that I would take my business elsewhere, and that she would never see me again.
I went back into the store and got a refund for the fuel I had purchased but had yet not pumped. While waiting for the refund I asked the woman in question what specific behavior of mine concerned her during the time I was inside and paying for the goods I purchased at which point she didn't answer. The cashier didn't say anything but the look on her face while refunding my money was most certainly sympathetic toward me.
So in case you want to deprive those businesses that are open carry hostile Myer's Market at 4684 Airport Boulevard Mobile, Alabama 36608 is one such business. I'm trying to find the contact information for their corporate office but so far have not found one and won't be going back onto their property to look for such information on their doors or windows.
