are you half retarded? you don't see the point of this thread?

I think he's fully retarded. Maybe he thinks he's in the General Hardware forum and not ATOT.

The most surprising part of this to me is that there's a Persian grocery store in Ballwin.

If you see this, PM me the name please, Eits.

I've love to be able to buy koubideh spices & sumac locally.

-The gentleman's actions, drug induced or due to his mental capacity, were causing a disturbance

since we're on "how atot is" binge, why would he call the cops? they don't do anything until after the crime is committed, if the do anything at all. fvcking pigs.

right guys? right? come on, i know you're all itching to bash some cops today.

i think the biggest travesty of this thread is that the OP went into a middle eastern store and didnt buy any halvah!

We should flame the op for mentioning that it was a "middle eastern" supermarket. Talk about irrelevant!

Someone who wasn't a racist would have just said that a guy walked into a supermarket and knocked over some postcards. Because that would be really interesting.

Edit: replaced "crazy guy" with "guy" because I did not want to discriminate against the mentally ill.

Don't be a moron. I've been wary of other things eits has posted. It has nothing to do with possibilities, but rather the OP.

Excluding race out of fear of racism is utterly retarded. If I'm trying to point out a black person, I'll say "that black guy over there", simply because it's specific.

LOL, fortunately they only can stay in office for 8 years, only to be replaced by another idiot. :p

*Ignores trolling*

That is pretty scary. Some wacko in my city shot a Sikh (Indian) convenience store owner after 9-11. Targeted the poor guy assuming he was Arab, because of the traditional turban and beard. The store you visited should be filing reports with police about the racists, keeping a log, and having them picked up by the cops when they come to pay their little visits. I'm sure there's something they could be cited for or the store owner could file for a court order saying these named jerks cannot come within 100ft of the store or they'll be arrested. :|

conspiracy theories, racism, drug references, food, confusion....eits' work here is done! Good job, OP! :p

No seriously - good of you to go back and help clean up. But I would have stayed inside and called the cops ASAP, instead of walking out. But then, your self-preservation instinct may be stronger than mine...
