shopping

there are an unbelieveable number of handguns and shotguns on the street. as many stores have armed guards at the door as don't. when i go shopping it's more to look than to buy. i scan the racks for something that might catch my eye. when it does i ask for help. several times i have gone into a store and they dog my steps. literally 2 steps behind me. i pause to look at something they stop too. i take 2 more steps they take 2 more steps. i could turn around and touch them. i know they have to be careful of shoplifters but when that happens i make a beeline right out the door.
