Music is part of the product for a food establishment though. Let's say that there is no sign, but you know that the owner of STORE A has expressed homophobic views that you disagree with. However his product is identical to that of STORE B And 10% cheaper as well. Would you buy from store A? To me this should boil down to a completely self interested commercial decision and store A would be the logical choice despite me disagreeing with an opinion of ownership. If you choose store B then where do you draw the line on what disagreement you'll accept from anyone part of the corporate hierarchy? What if they're vegan and you're not? Or they have made a joke you thought was mildly distasteful? Or they once took a smiling picture at a confederate statue? To me this should just boil down to product value assessment

Sure, you can believe that who makes the product doesn't matter, but other people do believe the product is affected by who makes it and the belief of those who do.
You can be some perfect paragon of logic, maybe you are a Vulcan. However most people are not and non-logical factors are important to them.

But to me it seems that basing the decision on self interest alone is actually easier, not harder than weighing all these extraneous factors. So I dont quite understand what would make someone take the harder route when it actually might result in them acting against their own self interest in terms of paying more or getting less.
