I’m standing at the front of my store, hanging new clearance shirts on the rounder, when one of our ever-so-brilliant security guards comes into the store. He walks right up to me, shows me a maintenance permit request, and asks me if we submitted it. I looked at it, and fought back a laugh.

“No, because…we aren’t Hot Topic.”

He went beet red, covered his mouth, apologized and practically ran out of the store in embarrassment. It took every ounce of self control I had at that moment not to break down laughing in his face. I barely managed to hold it until he left the store…

I get it from customers…but from mall security?

I have this memory of the Atlanta Braves (I think) having to issue an apology to the Dodgers for comments made by a player in regards to the Dodgers being in playoff contention with the Giants, back in the pre-wildcard days.

I remember a Braves player being interviewed before an end of season series with the Giants, and claiming to hate the Dodgers so much that they’d rather throw the games than help the Dodgers make the playoffs by beating the Giants.

Am I making this up in my head, or did this actually happen? I can’t find anything on the internet about it, so I’m coming to the amateur historians here…
