<bg> Had to go emergency prop shopping for our show today. We are leaving tomorrow to travel to Edinburgh to perform for a week. Part of the show (which is about a bank robbery) involves a mask of Kate Middleton (oh yeah the show's a comedy). This morning it got stuck in the props bag, I pulled on it and it being only card it ripped. My Bad. </bg>
The shop where we get the masks from is a party style shop, sells costumes, masks and some pretty hard core rave gear. All the staff out about my age (early 20s) as I entered the shop an older lady was at the desk
Me:
older lady: SC with something stuck up her arse
Nice Shop assistant: AS
SC: I just think it's dreadful everything that's been happening, I mean all that violence! I haven't felt safe! Thank god it doesn't seem to be getting worse! (blah blah blah it went on whilst I was looking at the masks)
I find the right mask and come up to the desk
SC: And this is part of the problem!
Me and AS:
SC: You shouldn't be allowed to stock masks! People can buy them and hide their identity in these riots!
AS: M'am we haven't had any problems here. It's all ending all over the country
SC: They could flare up again! Especially when your selling masks to these type of people! -glares at me-
Me: Excuse me?
SC: Yes you! dressed like that!
(I'm wearing jeans with a dress over the top and a hoody. A hoody which has emblasioned on the back Gilbert and Sullivan Operatic society)
Me: So you are making an accusation that I'm involved in the riots based on what I'm wearing, my age and the fact I'm buying a mask!
SC: It's people like you, that are destroying this country! You have no respect for your elders!
AS: M'am at the moment you are having no respect for my customers I need you to leave my shop
SC: You're probably one of them as well!
AS: Please leave or I'm calling security
SC leaves whilst calling over her shoulder "i'm going to report the both of you!
AS was apologetic whilst she ran up my purchase but it's no my fault. A security guard turned up and apparently she's accused about 5 other people today of being involved. They're trying to track her down and through her out the shopping centre.
Have to say im finding it amusing now but earlier I was so f****** angry at it! I hate people that judge by things like what im wearing. Where I live was not affected by the riots at all, not even suspected planning. I have been very vocal about the riots and how against them I am, to then be accused of it... well...
