This is an honest-to-goodness true story, but I hesitate to reveal to whom or where this happened. I'll only tell you it happened very recently in Arizona.
Details are below the fold.
A customer rented a Do-It-Yourself auto repair bay for the better part of a day. He still had two hours to go on his rental, when the shop attendant told him he had to leave. "But I still have more work to do, and I'm paid up for another two hours!" the customer replied. "Too bad," said the attendant, "I want to close up."
When the customer again resisted leaving, the attendant pulled a gun out of his pocket and put it on the table. Flabbergasted, the customer exclaimed, "You wouldn't use that, would you?" The attendant replied, "Only if I have to." The customer promptly left.
Needless to say, the shop attendant was fired the next morning, when the customer showed up again--this time with a lawyer--and threatened to sue the shopkeeper. It would appear that the NRA's brand of poison is no longer just for lover's spats or political warfare. Now it's being used to resolve business disagreements.
