Yup, these canned solutions are very subjective. A few years back www.msn.com was categorized as "porn". it was funny at first but the humor was lost quickly.

I would LOVE to say you are a couple of creative guys making up stories to pass the time. Really! I'd love to. But I've seen some of those sorts.
You ever notice how the clerk at the register is always chatty and smiles for miles, until THAT magazine comes to the top of the pile? Its worse than buying porn mags, man!
Yup...B&N is good times for libretard reaction until: I was expecting my usual "liberal disconnect" when I laid my purchases on the counter: Shotgun News, Handguns, Guns & Ammo. In 99.9% of my transactions, the friendly 'nice to see you' reaction melts to staring at the counter. They don't even ask if I have a Barnes and Noble card anymore...Anyway, on one occasion the cashier smiled and said - pointing to a picture of a SOCOM-16: "My boyfriend would love one of those". It could have been me, but I could swear she looked around to see if anyone overheard her....

That is the one.
With all due respect, are you serious? Of course they are anti-gun! Didn't the overwhelming stench of Petrulli oil raise your suspicion? Perhaps the number of customers wearing hemp clothing should have raised a flag? The mid-eighties Volvos in the parking lot? Obama stickers on all the bumpers? Surely you noticed some of this? For future reference, all natural=Hippie=liberal.![[rofl]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/013.gif "ROFL [rofl]")
It's tuff in Pittsfield because the sporting goods store is right next to the Panera. Ahhhhhhh help us!!!
Well, I got a response:
So now all those who want to complain have an avenue to do so. I would just ask you to be polite.

yeah, I bought a bunch of gun mags and books the other day. I was also picking up Pride and Prejudice for my fiancee, so I stacked that on top

Ah, the old bait and switch. I like your style.
My wife and I were in B&N in Manchester and we purchased some books. (10+ books). We were both well dressed and polite, and so was the cashier, until she got to the bottom of the pile to Ayoob's Combat Handunnery, and a reloading book. She said nothing, but openly scorned us. I think it made her madder that she was nice up front and couldnt take it back

You should've said, at seeing her expression -- "Oh, don't worry, I don't look down at you for being a cashier (
), at at place that would sell stuff like THIS! (snicker)."

I would just lower my voice and in the most menacing tone and look I could muster just ask: is there a problem?

Just curious. If she said nothing how did she 'openly scorn' you?.
I've never had any issues when buying firearm related books or magazines in any of the B&N stores in MA. No offense but I think you folks are looking for stuff that isn't there.
ETA I was in a local hardware store a month ago buying some roll pins. When I told the clerk I was building a gun he thought it was interesting and started asking all kinds of questions. A few of the other employees also showed interest. When I went back a few days later to make some keys they asked if I was still working on the gun.

No kidding...I grab lunch there on occasion. I wonder what they think of me sitting there with my Lodge badge and Remington RealTree vest on, surfing NES and downloading Pumpkin Blast photos whilst I munch on a Turkey Bacon Bravo?
Frankly, I'm surprised you guys have the patience or desire to hang out in Panera after eating. My wife and I go once in a while and we're always amazed at the amount of "people" (libtard hippy douchebag types) who just hang out there and tap away at their laptops. When I go somewhere to grab a bite, I eat and I leave. Often times these same people are taking up whole tables by themselves and do not appear to be paying customers at all... Instead of a restaurant, it seems like it's an extension of an airport terminal waiting area.

FYI, Honda Gallery in Reading also blocks NES. Sonic Wall thinks this is a Game site.
