That's exactly why I don't do shows in South Florida anymore. I only wish I just had to deal with boors like that described above.
Our shows have been invaded by gangbangers and street crud of all types. I lost count of the time's I've heard, "Dood gots Uzis!!" (you see, EVERYTHING that looks like a machinegun is an Uzi!). They'll crowd around you and will have one or two distracting you while the rest see what they can pinch or mess with. I've lost count on how many times I've told someone that a particular item has been sold just to keep it out of their hands.
And what's with the family outing crowd? Show customers find themselves gridlocked with the number of baby carriages chocking the isles, pushed by mama, who is also dragging another 2 to 3 greasy fingered tykes behind. Is this really the best way to spend a family Sunday?
Gun shows in South Florida....No thanks!
