I care. You care. Many others care too.
We need to be vocal about it and protest.
Did you call the store owner to the carpet and request s/he stop it? If not, THAT’S the problem. If no one protests, why will SHE care??
And if she ignores you, perhaps it is time to picket in front of her shop urging customers to shop elsewhere. Print a flyer urging customers to boycott her, and listing nearby competitors, and show it to her before handing them out to potential customers considering entering her store. Allow her to consider the implications and reconsider prior to going through with it.
That will certainly get her attention.
