Nah, if I could be intimidated into not going to a comic shop, it would have happened long ago. I'm used to the stares and the sidling. Fortunately, most of the time, one or two of the guys from my comic club are there, and they're kinda protective. I think I may be the closest thing to a girlfriend any of them have. The owner of the comic store also keeps an eye out when he's up front, but most of the time he tends to hang out in back playing card games until someone has something to buy.
I won't, however be going into that particular hobby shop again. If that's the kind of person who hangs out there it isn't the kind of place I want to give my business to.

I was half joking about scaring them off by saying hello. I do that just to be friendly and start a conversation, and don't really understand why, a little over half the time anyway, they tend to take off. I can't really see how I could intimidate anyone who's twice my size.

You never said how old he was, but being 240 I figure at minimum 16, that's old enough to know it's wrong with no excuses.

He seemed to be in his late teens or early 20's. I didn't stay long enough to get a good look.
I'm tired, and it's time for me to go to bed, so I'll be back tomorrow to catch up.
