Great response. Personally, if I saw a drunk marine or anyone acting out like that in a store, I would GET THE @#$%& OUT (LOL) of there and wait until the irate/drunk customer had left the store. Then I would start timing the shop over from the second time I came into the store.
I live in NYC and frequently encounter irate drunks and/or angry, screaming mentally ill people who forgot to take their medication who scare the @#$%& out of me. They are everywhere, and people need to walk in NYC. Sometimes they're walking behind me saying intimidating things and I'm not sure if they're only talking to themselves or trying to scare me. If I have to cross the street or change directions, I do not hesitate. I am not staying around to see if someone explodes. @#$%& that!
cpburt, I hope you realize what a can of worms you opened and can take a few jokes!
