| So I put in a job application at sears. Not sure even if they will give me a phone call but if by some miracle I get hired I am more or less using this as an experiment and such to see how I act in a retail establishment.

| OK, well maybe it was your badge and maybe they saw you as a fetishist intruder on their panel? I really don't know, just a thought. Honestly that is what I am thinking. They got the wrong idea from my badge and possibly the way I said stuff. Also I know one person in there doesnt get diapers and s... |
