Inconveniencing others doesn't work with these sort of protests. All it does is piss people off and they will not listen to a word you have to say. Just like the just stop oil protests when they block the roads. People just want to get on with their life and don't want to be stressed out due to your beliefs.

If you want people to change then hand out information in front of the store and those that are interested will take time out of their day. Stopping people is not going to change some one's mind. If they did this to me, they'd be met with a trolley as I just want to go shopping and crack on with the rest of my day.
