I think it is a play on words and hopefully meant in jest. Credit has a few of meanings depending on what context you use it. In this case I think 1) an acknowledgement and 2) being able to put items on a "tab" are what's being played with.

Credit means the postponement of payment. Sometimes shops will allow people to run up a debt and pay at, perhaps, the end of the month. This shopowner was clearly someone who was prejudiced against women and depending on where the shop was, he may well have been breaking the law. If so, then he should be reported.

Means that a man can buy goods from the shop but pay for them later, and a woman is forbidden from doing so.
However it could also mean that women receive no credit for the stuff they do. In this sense, credit refers to praise rather than monetary credit.

It means that if you are a woman you can not ask the shop owner to take your details and bill you for the goods or start an account (where you take the goods home and pay for them at a latter date).
However if you are a man they will allow you credit.

It's a disciminatory remark.
Either means no credit as in booking up items at the shop,
or
dont give them any credit in what they do, like telling us we are worth something or do good at things..
Its discriminatory and sexist.

it means that a woman has to pay before she gets the goods,
the business won't let her take anything and pay later, presumably if you're a man then you can have credit.
Credit is another term for borrowing money
hence the "credit card"
How nice to live somewhere where you can display such a notice without upsetting a load of wishy washy pc liberals
