Nobody is forced to buy there, there are many alternatives, I assume.

If a shop owner would say he only accepts pure gold as currency, I'm okay with it. But he has to live with the consequences of the ways in which he runs his business, good and bad ones.

I also have no problem with shop owners saying they do not agree to make a deal with this or that customer, may it be a carnivore or omnivore like me, or a burkha-thing, or a known Nazi. I have a problem with "anti discrimination legislation" demanding shop owners to accept just everybody, no matter whom.

If I would run my own business, I would even reserve the right to refuse to agree to come to terms over a deal with a customer just becasue I do not like his nose. As long as I have not accepted payment or contract, I refuse to accept any obligation of mine. I am not the other's property, I am not his slave. Of course, I have to accept the consequences of my business decisions and sales policies as far as the behaviour of other potential customers is concerned.

I think these extremist vegetarians/veganists are mentally not to be taken serious anymore, but its their shop and thus their business. As long as they would not try to enforce their ways on my way of life and do not try to change society to their liking - which many indeed do try - I would not fight them. But where I get hindered in my free choice by their ideology, I start to go after them.
