One Saturday I was manning the Register(Damn, all my stories start this way!), and this familiar looking guy comes up to the counter with wife and kids, and asks to see our sleeping bags. After showing him our selection, he asked what our cheapest ones were. $34.95. He then asked if there was a thrift shop or Salvation Army in town where he might find some used ones. I answered no, and after much deliberation, he settled on the one for $35, and a cheap $5 indian blanket. When he gave me his credit card, I realized who he was. Remember the TV show Sledge Hammer? The main character David Rasche! I know it's been awhile since Sledge Hammer has been on the air, but shit, can he really not afford decent sleeping bags for his kids, and want to buy used!?!?
