My golf shorts supply needed an update so I wandered over to the local Golf Galaxy. Sadly they are going to close the store and move in with Dick's, which is down the freeway.
I've been buying Under Armour shorts for a while. They are pricey, but comfortable. They are a bit strange in that their sizes are not consistent. You've got to try on every pair.
They only have two dressing rooms and one has been occupied by a mom and her son. Maybe they were getting an entire wardrobe or something, and they were in there a long time. That left the other one for the rest of us.
There were three of us waiting to use the room. One of the store workers came by and while he couldn't empty a room for us, he did stop and chat.
We eventually got around to theft. The store policy, and it's not unique in this part of the country, is to not interfere with people stealing stuff. They can walk in and walk out with their arms full and no one will chase them into the parking lot. No one will take a bull whip or cattle prod to them. No one will follow and get a license plate number. No one wanders the outer sidewalk with a baseball bat.
The idea behind all of this is that one injury or lawsuit wipes out any profit in tackling the brazen perps. Sadly, but expectedly, the crooks all know this. So more and more stores are becoming victims of this entrepreneurial activity.
As long as it doesn't get too frequent, I suspect that nothing will change. But I can see a day when you will need to show ID to get into a lot of stores. As long as ID is not needed to vote, then I guess we can live with it.
As for golf news, not much worth reporting at this point. I'm playing well and pretty happy with my game. Still looking for more consistency, but so are all the pros. Most of the work around the house has calmed down. I've replaced the carburetor on the mower and it worked! I'm pretty relaxed at this point and am looking forward to some play this week.
