Money isn't everything, but it is a tool to show one's ethics. Not paying attention to someone's behavior in order to get something you want can get really sticky really quickly. Where is the line drawn, if there is a line at all? Basically, this is sort of similar to the guys in Charlottesville that were identified and lost their jobs as soon as it was known they were there. They could easily have said "Well, they work hard and do a good job while they're here." You say something about yourself by choosing who you associate with and those employers obviously chose not to be associated with white supremacists. I think many people will choose not to associate themselves with someone who is bigoted towards others. Although hell, it might get him extra business from some of our less enlightened brethren.

As a business owner I get the awesome choice to do business with whoever I want. Yes I would do business with someone who messed up once with one message. If someone has an amazing animal that I want then I’m going to do business with them. Again I could care less about your religion, who you talk to, what your gender is, or how you talked to someone in the past. It doesn’t concern me what concerns me is the animal. Did OP sell a wrong animal, scam someone, sell a sick animal, no. He went off on someone and yes he shouldn’t have but he did. Did the “buyer” get annoyed because he wanted to buy an animal but never committed or put any money down yes. The buyer sounds like a waste of time. It’s always first come first serve. If your don’t want to do first come first serve with your business you don’t have too just know that’s how most business operate. I’m not saying what Mitch did was right but I’m not saying OP was in the right either.
