Seriously? A grandfather can't find books for his kids in this day and age. Paranoia is rising no matter where you go. What would have happened if this was say a 30-40 year old father looking for books for his kids?

Typical of today's society, if only these busy bodies would mind their own business, this type of thing and political correctness really get my goat!!

What he should have done is to present his grandchild and said now explain to them why I was kicked out and unable to buy them a book.

Of course, the entire ugly incident easily could have been avoided had Grandpa simply remembered to put on pants.

I should imagine that course of action will already have been taken by many upon learning of this incident.
