glad all my over-indulgent customers are happy drinkers.
I've told a few "You can ONLY look in the beer cooler, your daily limit has been exceeded."
most reply "I figured you'd say that thanks for letting me look."
I'm really not build for public service :icon_biggrin:

Yes I seen that and when they pinned him down, he tried to destroy the guitar by beating it on the wall and floor.Why didn't they call the Police? He was a thief caught in the act

...Why didn't they call the Police?...
Sounds like someone did?
"Albuquerque police said they responded to reports of an aggravated assault at the Guitar Center..."
And-- they thought the guy was nuts. Get him away from customers and workers, and get the guitar aside. Neither GC nor the police are able to help crazy people. The sad result in this country is that we just push the troubled people around to bother someone else.

He grabs the guitar within 10 feet and 2 seconds of the door. (I thought maybe he had it a while.) The carry-out is remarkably restrained considering.
