So It Was Peanut Butter Jelly Time...

Because a guy in a banana costume was at my mall. I was curious, and had to ask why he was wearing it. He said he just wanted to because it was funny, but that he'd actually been kicked-out of another mall and some stores. I told him it was awesome he was wearing it, and people are too uptight, and that he needed to get the whole fruit-of-the-loom gang in here! He laughed and went on with his shopping.

I mean, really. This was the costume. http://www.google.com/imgres?q=banan...:0&tx=25&ty=58

Nothing offensive, nothing covering his face, no different than wearing a hoodie. Besides, I'd rather see a bunch of bananas walking around than some of the outfits I'm trying to bleach from my brain! It just made my day, seeing a banana walking around!

At least a banana is fully clothed.

it's because the dirty minded see where the bottom of the banana is.

Acutally, it's most likely because seeing a guy dressed like that at a mall, the first assumption everybody has is that they work there and they want to avoid the chance of someone taking advantage of the gullible in that manner.

I thought about that, but there's really nothing he could associate himself with in our mall, and he wasn't trying to act like he was. Heck, we've had people complain to the office about how they were harassed by 'plainclothes security' um, no, we don't have plainclothes, that was a concerned citizen warning you you might get a ticket parking in the fire lane. And GEEZE, the customers think every person in a white shirt must be security. Even a white sweatshirt. It's our variation of the red shirt effect I think.

I think if I had someone walk into my store dressed like that, and he actually attempted to conduct himself seriously (dead-pan comedian style)...

I'd give him free product. Most likely quietly go around and insist that my girls interject random fruit/primate references while asking customer-service related questions. People with senses of humor are awesome.

He wore a banana suit for no reason? He has personality; I like that.

[JustaCashier]

Maybe mall security should dress in banana costumes.....

Notice where the bottom point of the banana ends up on the model.

What, me perverted?

So at your mall, anyone with a white shirt, who is sent to a strange new place is pretty much guaranteed to die?
