Overzealous and inconsistent.As said before, people open carry in that store often. The issue was an OVERZEALOUS MANAGER.
"Ummm, I think your gun is dangerous, but I'll just annoy you on purpose anyway"

Even if they are denying you a constitutional right (and since it's in The Constitution, by nature it's a civil right).However I believe that property owners can limit what parts of the public can use their property.
For the record, that's not my quote-it's from the Napolotano video interview.I don't thinks it is as "all or nothing" as your quote makes it seem.
Are you really going to equate no shirt/no shoes to OC/CC?For example, "No shirt, no shoes, no service". So while a business is free to post signs and not allow the public to use their property if we are not clothed properly, or if we are armed we as consumers are still free to take our business elsewhere.
Legally, don't know how this issue is going to hash out down the road, but here's Judge Napolotano's take on the Starbucks open carry flap.
Note he says, "Starbucks is a public accommodation, which means it invites the public to come on its property, and when the public comes on its property, the public doesn't shed any of it's Constitutional Rights".
As he says in the video-if it's your property, you can pretty much do what you want.
If it's your property and you openly invited the public on it, not so much.
How 'bout a "No Jews, no Italians, no Irish etc sign?
How far would a business get with a sign like that posted?
Until there is a national right to carry your "constitutional rights" are not in play.
When I said "your quote" I meant that as in the quote that you posted, I wasn't trying to say that it was a quote of somthihng you said.Even if they are denying you a constitutional right (and since it's in The Constitution, by nature it's a civil right).
As stated, this one is probably headed for the courts somewhere down the road?

Don't know all the particulars regarding the shirt/shoes signs, but it may be related to health issues, and is The Constitution as specific 'bout you not wearing shirts/shoes as it is 'bout your right to keep and bear arms?
How 'bout a "No Jews, no Italians, no Irish etc sign?
How far would a business get with a sign like that posted?
Which may be decided by SCOTUS very soon (McDonald vs Chicago)?
'Course, there will probably be more legal cases 'til this thing is hashed out.
I believe I have a right to own and carry a gun but that right does not trump property owners and business owners rights to post and to prohibit carry on their property.
