I observed this encounter today, and I'd like to get all of your reactions to it:
I was at a used book store run by our county library system, today. Two guys were looking for books. Apparently, they run a book sale operation, and they wanted to find cheap stuff to resale. One had a camera he was using to photograph the books.
After a while, one of the workers confronted them and told them they couldn't buy up a lot of their stock just to resale it. One of the guys responded by telling her something about "This is a public access place."
Soon after that, they left. But the worker told another worker that she sees them come in every Saturday, and they buy up a lot of their stock. I guess she'll order them to leave, the next time they come.
What do you think? It could be argued that they're not doing anything wrong. After all, this store is a not-for-profit operation, and if they want to buy stuff to resale that's their business. The pair of them did act a little obnoxius, though. And the camera was kinda disturbing.
