I got a book thrown at me today

Yep. Today, Senator John McCain visited our lovely store, and was signing autographs. things got a little nuts, and some people didn't understand they needed a line number for every book they wanted signed (with a limit of 3..), and one gentleman got so upset that he threw his books. Yep. life was good.
Then there was the gentleman in the cafe that had to be escorted out of the store, while he was yelling something along the lines of "Florida can't handle the truth!".... apparently, he had gone to the cafe, asked how much it would be for a straight coffee ($1.50) and he bitched about how he could go to McDonald's and get coffee for $.50, but ordered it anyways.. apparently the girls in the cafe were brewing it, and told him he'd get it in a second, if he'd just step to one side... apparently things escalated, and he started yelling at one of the employees, and the manager of the cafe started yelling at him, and he was like "fine, I'll leave!" and she was like "the door's right there, mister!" it was.... dramatic. He finally got escorted out of the store, and we were to tell the police in the store if he came back..

So, my day was eventful, how was yours?

(and to anyone who looks, yes, I did post this in ALL THREE SPOTS I diarize in.)
