This is a crappy little consumer column from the WaPost about a family getting the once-over from a manager at an Urban Outfitters in DC. I post it because (a) I love these kinds of stories where the man is keeping us down, and (b) because it follows jank’s attempt to set a theme of “this would never happen here” — if UO tried to pull that stuff in Texas they’d be laughed to the border. I always happily sign waivers when they’re handed to me here in my home state because I know my rights exist indpendent of someone trying to make me sign them away.
