I went to lunch with two lady friends the other day. after lunch the two ladies wanted to smoke so we went to the restaurant’s open patio so they could slowly kill themselves. it was a good size patio with lots of empty chairs and tables. One of the ladies wanted to go and sit next a couple who were the only diners in the whole patio area. I told her that it may be better to stay away from them since the smoke would probably bother them. she got very upset with me telling me that this is a free country and she has as much right to smoke as those people have right to eat. i could not believe what i was hearing. if she had said this in my store i would have asked her to leave my shop immidiately. why are people so blindly selfish and see everything only from their point of view and only their own benefit and to hell with everyone else. I left the restaurant and went and sat in the car as i could not stand being there a second longer.
