I can understand a business asking someone not to flash, LOL, but they should never ask them to leave for nursing a baby.
Here are a couple photo of me nursing that I took for a debate like this a while back. I actually should have worn a different shirt for the photo. The neckline is so low that in the photo you can't see any shirt at all. In reality it was pushed up so that it blocked the view from the top and the baby and carrier kept you from seeing anything below the shirt's neckline.

Rachel, I remember once I was at a BBQ and was sitting across from my friend who was a little breastfeeding phobic. I was nursing Judah. Suddenly the friend says "you shouldn't tempt him like that, he'll want to eat." I smiled and said "he is eating." The look on his face was priceless.
