End of an Era

About 3 years ago it changed from the "used book store" to the "adult outlet" and gave up any pretence of being a book store. Assume it went out of business because you can buy dildos and butt plugs online without worrying about running into a neigbor or coworker.

That just takes all the fun out of it!

One of the fun things about working at ASEC was watching the people looking around before ducking through the door or trying to hide the bags as they left......
Much broader selection too.

:biggrin:

I'll bow your superior knowledge of the selection available in both places....

The story I got, from a "reliable source" was that one of the owners of a small business that does business with NAVAIR - some engineering, mostly logistics - was, back in the day, herself a contractor. Well, there was a meeting in Texas with one of the primes, and after the meeting, a bunch of fellas and her retired to the local watering hole, that happened to be a strip club.

She was not amused. Filed complaints, heads rolled - my source was one of the ones that got hung out to dry. I don't know that anyone lost their job, either as a GS or as a contractor, but people were censured and/or reassigned. Lots of folks really unhappy with her.

I went to Las Vegas to a conference with a female coworker, one of the first things she said was let's go to a show girl show. I said "you sure., there is nudity?" Sher said "I've got tits, I know what they look like".

Funny thing was during the breaks they had a very raunchy female comedian, people at the titty show were offended by the comedian and walked out. We still tell some of those jokes to coworkers.

After getting busted for underage dancers, “family friendly“ might’ve been their best option for spin.

I was only there to offer some mature insight and life guidance to some of those poor wayward young things. You know..like charity....almost.
