By Rachel Stockman
LAGRANGE, Ga. A sign with a gay slur on it is upsetting some customers at a LaGrange convenience store.
The owner said he put it up because he was sick of customers coming in with saggy pants. The sign calls customers a gay slur if they choose to wear saggy pants.
I came up with that sign, nobody else did, said Anil Patel, who owns PCA Food Store on Hogansville Road. Since that sign went up there, I dont see no pants down in my store, because they read the sign and they decide what they want to be.
I couldnt believe they put something like that up, said customer Joshua Southern, who said he plans to no longer shop at the store.

I was more shocked by the guy saying it was like he was living in hickville. I thought he looked like someone who would live in hickville.
