Full Title: Arizona doctor fuming at Barnes & Noble after employee kicks him out for being alone in children’s section

[who knows what evil?]

IF his story is true as told; I have to side with the doc on this one...

[Jonty30]

I side with the doctor on this one. Unless there is evidence of predatory behaviour, you leave a guy alone about his business.

[samtheman]

He should switch to proctology. He’s definitely anal.

[Yashcheritsiy]

The employee told Amin that a female customer complained that he made her uncomfortable, Amin said.

Tell her to find a pillow and mind her own business.

[Just A Reader]

73 year old man alone in store sitting on the floor of the children’s reading section is suspicious and creepy. B&N has plenty of chairs and benches in other areas that he could have settled.

[svcw]

Unless B&N has a written posted notice of this policy at the entrance to the children’s section, the doctor is correct, he should not have been asked to leave.

[Altariel]

Exactly.

What if had been a man who was uncomfortable with a woman shopping alone in the children’s section?

The reaction should be the same in this case. People need to learn to grow up and realize the notion “I’m uncomfortable with a man minding his own business and quietly shopping (and taking a private phone call)” is their *personal* problem, not the man’s problem.

The whole world is getting paranoid.

This was a stupid thing for the store to do, but I do hope the doctor is a big liberal, just to give him a taste of what the nanny-state political correctness feels like.

[agere_contra]

He was publicly treated as a sex offender.

Its obvious that you’d roll over if this happened to you: I’m glad the Doctor is taking it more seriously.

[circlecity]

"If I do not get that, I am going to court,” he told Fox News."

And just what relief will you be asking for Doctor? You have no damages. No lawyer would take your case on a contingency basis because there is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Man up and get over it.

Know what?

I’m “uncomfortable” with sh!t disturbing, pathologically suspicious females, who think every male is a predator waiting to attack.

[stuartcr]

What about the female customers complaint? How should that have been handled?

[stuartcr]

What if Dr. Omar Amin looked like a muslim?

[GingisK]

The whole world is getting paranoid.

I am not paranoid! Everyone IS out to get me! ;-D

[USMCPOP]

He should have done what I do when they threaten to kick me out of Victoria's Secret for hiding in the garment racks.

[Cyman]

This story is diametrically opposed to the story on the internet yesterday which stated that Dr Amin was satisfied with the apology and just wanted to regain anonymity and go on with his life.
