The Pepsi guys face went from

EPIC. im sorry you live there. walmart is bad enough all on its own. I cant imagine a circus inside a circus???
you should have just plowed them over in your car. I would have repped you
Probably a Bloomingfoods person who sympathizes with PETA.I don't think it was so much about my appearance as much as it was about what I said to the Pepsi guy.
I was wearing Birks, cargo shorts, and a bacon t-shirt. Pretty low-key.
"As I cleared the automatic doors (which were locked open for this "event", some dude lunges at me and shoves a soda can right into my face and screams "WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRY A PEPSI MAX???"
No sooner than those words left his mouth, I politely asked to him if he would like to try a .45 ACP."
Screw it, I'll be the dissenting opinion. Sounds like you got off easy for being a bit of a jerk in a situation you know happens every year and is a staple in your town. You may not have known it was Friday Night Madness, but as soon as you realized it, you could have adapted a little better.
You sound like the people over on 16th & Georgetown who complain about the 500 and Brickyard every year. If you don't like it, why don't you leave?

Bottom line, I'm glad the officer was not of the typical B-Town mentality and laughed it off. Otherwise, you would be explaining to a DA why you threatened to shoot a guy for offering you a Pepsi!
In no way is this a flame, but please think before you do something like that again. You know the press would love to print the story of a "Bloomington man threatening to shoot a crowd of students while visiting the Wal Mart."
Pretty much sums it up right here.What you said was kind of funny, but you never really know who you're talking to when you spout off things like that. Obviously he felt somewhat threatened (or just angry about being outwitted) and said something to the police in the store. It's amazing what a couple of harmless words will get you into sometimes.
This is kind of my opinion on the matter also, but (surprisingly) not as harsh. What you said was kind of funny, but you never really know who you're talking to when you spout off things like that.

Well...I seem to be a glutton for punishment sometimes.
I had a post on ARFCOM a year or two ago about an episode I was involved in at Indianapolis Airport. It seems to be lost in the archives, and I cannot find it. If anyone has access to it, and wishes to search it out, it would be keywords 360, airport, southwest, tampa I think.
