Grandpa says bookstore kicked him out for shopping alone in children's section

[mookiemookie]

A Scottsdale man is claiming that a Barnes & Noble bookstore discriminated against him when an employee forced him out of the store because he was a male shopper alone in the children's area.

Omar Amin, 73, said store worker Todd Voris told him that a female shopper had complained about him being in the children's area May 4 in the store at Shea Boulevard and Loop 101 in Scottsdale.

Amin, who was alone at the time, said he was in Barnes & Noble to buy books for his two grandchildren who live in Wisconsin.

The story's since been updated with Barnes & Noble apologizing and saying this should not have happened.

But still...has the world gone freaking pedo crazy? What's it say about us as a society and parents today when the most innocent of things....a grandfather shopping for his grandkids...is seen as a boogeyman?
