That's why I don't support most strikes. I don't mind if a picketer wants to tell me his side of the story or what they're striking for, but I've experienced way too many picketers tossing out insults and rude comments that I will purposely cross lines when they do that.
I did just that in the last grocery strike. It was late at night, and I needed a carton of milk. I stopped at the Albertson's just 5 minutes away. On my way out, a guy with a bullhorn decided to shout right in my ear with it, and called me a "fat cow" and then proceeded to "moo" through the horn while I was walking to my car. I was so ticked, that I put the milk in my car, and turned right back around, grabbed a cart, and said, "Thanks for making this my number one place to shop now. That reminds me - I think I need to stock up on more stuff instead of going to the other stores like I've been trying to do this whole time." and I walked right in, and purchased an entire cartload of groceries, and grinned at him on my way out.
