This actually happened many years ago, but my friends and I still get a chuckle out of it.
I used to be a light-duty mechanic and gas pump jockey at a Union 76 station on the corner of 3rd and Robertson, right around the corner from the Beverly Center mall, in a ritzy section of West L.A. One day after work, I head up to Santa Monica Bl. and a place called Drake's. Drake's is a small, independent chain of stores that rents and sells adult-themed movies, books, gifts, and novelties. They cater to every genre, orientation, and fetish that you can think of. Unfortunately, I went to the wrong location ( blush ) .
I mistakenly went to the smaller location closer to work. As I'm walking through the rows perusing their inventory, I noticed that there didn't seem to be anything there but guy-on-guy action. Now, I'm as liberal and open-minded as they come, and a staunch advocate of the philosophy "live and let live"- but there's still some things I'm not interested in seeing. At the time I was still young and kinda dumb, and raised up in a macho ghetto environment, so it really freaked me out at the time.
I asked the handsome, fit, clean-cut blonde dude behind the counter "hey man, where's all your straight stuff at?". He said "oh- that's at our main store up the street". He then smiled and said "you won't find what you're looking for here". Before I could catch myself, I said out loud "OH, F*CK". The dude just laughed and said "don't worry- people make that mistake ALL the time". He then nicely gave me the address for the other store.
We said our farewells, and I got the hell outta there before anyone that I knew saw me- LOL.

I can see someone making a purchase there, not getting batteries, then going down to the drugstore to buy some...
