I picked this story up second hand from a friend of mine. I must warn you, expect to lose several brain cells, along with any hope in humanity you may have still had.
Buddy of mine was doing some christmas shopping and opted to swing by a "Christian" book store. Apparently they tend to have great selections of Christmas music...(ok I know I know I'm stupid. Still it was news to me) and you can usually find a nice ornament or two while you're there. Bud's mum loves TSO (trans siberian orchestra) so he'd gone in there looking for that.
As he tells it, he was back in the store's music department when a woman comes in through the front door. Now normally he'd have not paid her any attention, but something about the lady made him look up. Maybe the fact she was dressed like your average gothic teenager, or more likely it was the effect that said clothing has on a middle aged woman. Either way she caught his attention. Now he didn't hear the whole conversation between the woman and the cashier, just something about her wanting to buy a certain kind of book.
A few minutes later, the lady comes stomping back up to the cashier and starts making a scene. She's yelling, screaming, and having a total hissy fit.
Why? Well apparently she said to the cashier quote:
"I came in here looking for a spell book. Not some stupid Wicca is evil book! If I'd wanted that, I'd have gone to one of those stupid Christian bookstores! I wanna see your manager..." you know the drill. We've heard it all before.
Well, bless her soul, bud swears up and down that the poor girl behind the counter waited it out and then sweetly said
"But...you are in a Christian book store."
He claims that the woman's look was classic, and I'll have to take his word at it.
