The manager and his employee were happy that it happened.

Upon overhearing that, the beer delivery person made a u-turn and walked out of the store without delivering the beer. And he also told other people about it, too. Such as those who worked for Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Frito-Lay, local dairy, and all of the other vendors you can think of.

They all came into the store within a matter of days, and picked up the items, taking it to their trucks, leaving the store completely empty. The owner/manager of store closed it down, as he had nothing to sell anymore.

Now who can tell me if this borders on discrimination?

Exactly.

However, I do have to state, they couldn't have been that 'radical' or they wouldn't have been selling beer.
