A brief real-life Grrrr moment. So we discovered today that the guy who has been organizing Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments in our store has been charging people $5 apiece to play.
Payable to him.
On our free tables.
Besides being illegal--the guy is running a business enterprise and pocketing money without a sales tax license--it's incredibly sleazy. He's using our facilties on our private property that we pay rent and tax on to make money at our expense. Without even asking.
I have been gritting my teeth about this since I found out. I got it out of my system by writing up a code of conduct for the use of our tables that we'll post--which Bob or I should have done long ago--that includes no money changing hands. But really, the next time this guy comes into the store we will have words.
