It has nothing to do with political correctness, but everything to do with basic human compassion, understanding and a willingness to treat others with the respect they are due.
I am constantly amazed at the apparent immaturity of those who use such pejoratives to describe the mentally or physically handicapped. I must assume that they lack any personal relationships with those who suffer from such conditions. Having a brother-in-law who is mentally handicapped, I can tell you that such terms fail to give such individuals the respect they often earn and deserve. After all, I have yet to see many much more "intelligent" members of society have the same successes as my BIL (who has been on a lobbying mission to Capital Hill to press for increased federal programs for kids and adults like him, despite possessing the equivalent of a third grade education).
On-topic:
It is a private establishment that can set sales policies as they see fit, provided they do not result in discrimination against a protected class. If GS wants to force him to stop the program, that's its right as the grantor of his franchise. But to try and make this a legal issue via claims of discrimination shows a general lack of understanding of the actual composition of our society.
