Fights are to be expected in a bar but in a....

[Mark Healey]

Bookstore?!!?!?!?

Some drunken bull dyke cops a feel from another cutomers wife. He pushes her away. She does it again. He pushes again, this time forcefuly enough for her to fall down.

This is from stories told to me by other customers. All I saw was the final push.

Whenever there is a fight in the store I kick everyone out. I'm not a mediator and I'm not a cop.

The man and wife leave but the bull dyke and her girlfriend stay and start ranting at us. My sidekick calls the cops.

Naturally, they tire of their rant and leave before the cops show.

What this is really about is: How many types of businesses are less likely to have fights than a bookstore? I can think of a few, a gun range, a Jain temple, a cutlery store or a nitro-glycerine storage facility.

Who else has had to deal with fights in unexpected places.

Bull dyke? What the heck is a bull dyke? Is this some sort of dog breed? Why is a dog even in a bookstore?

It's a term for a very manly looking woman, mostly used to describe the "Butch" type of gay woman.

It's the stereotypical "mannish" variety of lesbian.

I would've expected something like this in a club, pool house or bar but a bookstore?!!! Holy shit did you have a helluva melee on your hands.

sadly ive seen this kind of fight in a Build a Bear store. over the last pink horse iirc. made me lose all faith in the 2 children's upbringing. bonus was that one of the "parents" punched a mall cop (this particular mall the security is Tulsa County Sheriff) he was promptly stomped into a small mud hole by the other cops. he was charged with resisting arrest with violence, 2 counts assault on the other parents, 1 count assaulting a police officer, destruction of mall property (broken store window) and finally 1 count disturbing the peace. i had hoped for more entertainment, but i had to get back from my break.

EQ, you work in a hotel...how are you not surrounded by enough gay people to give you these vocabulary items? Or is that just my hotel that has so many...

I've seen fights break out in the lobby of the YMCA... while I was working in the pool. It made me lose all hope for humanity.

It may have been expected, but I still find annoyance on the day a fight broke out in the terminal-lobby of the Greyhound I used to work at.
The station was completely packed because it's a Friday evening and everyone was apparently going somewhere. There was a large, predominantly hispanic family there to see some gal and her baby off. I guess babys-daddy wasn't thrilled at the prospect, words were exchanged and I glance up from the counter in time to watch the guy shove the gal and her kid to the floor seconds before the girls brother rears back and jumps him.
Thankfully it had spilled outside and out of the station by the time the cops got there.

We must have been lucky- We later learned that up in our Seattle Greyhound station, a huge, station-clearing brawl broke out between the local homless types and a bunch of bus-going college asshats.

I've heard of fights at the local McDonald's...but the bookstore?

[cinema guy]

I would have expected any disagreements in such erudite environs as a book shop be settled with intelligent discourse, informed debate and rapier-sharp wit.

What? I like my dream world.

She's generally surrounded by gay men (*Waves wildly*), not butch lesbians. Actually, all my lesbian girl friends are pretty frilly. Haven't met a butch lesbian yet (maybe I have, but she didn't seem that "butch" to me).

Completely utterly

When I was working as a bartender at a particular sports bar, we handled the to-go orders. When you started any tab at the bar, you labeled it anyway that you would remember who the tab belonged to. We did not use bar seat numbers.

There were two bars in this establishment...the bartender at the main bar had two "butch" types come into the bar to place a to go order. She labeled their tab "bull dykes". When orders go back to the kitchen, they have the table and/or bar patron label on them for expediting purposes. Well, this particular instance the expo person followed protocol and stapled the kitchen ticket to the to go bag because when we are busy on to go orders, your supposed to. The bartender didn't consider or remember that the bar patron label was on the food ticket and handed the ladies their to go order. They saw the ticket and, rightfully so, pitched a huge fit over it. That bartender was suspended for two weeks without pay and we were all given a stern lecture about our bar labels.

I could no longer label my bar patrons as "asshole", "bitch" or any other label that, although probably deserved, not professional.

I'm surprised the admins here are allowing the use of a homophobic slur. "Bulldyke" is an insulting term and is as bad as "faggot".
