reasons I should not wear cute dresses

[rm]

I was just as the newsstand buying stamps to mail a letter to Patty when a dude came and leaned down to grab a paper, I assumed, to pay for it.

Instead he grabbed the entire stack of Backstage's and sauntered off, until I gave chase. What the fuck I would have done if I'd caught the guy, I dunno, but I suppose I would have figured it out. Anyway, he went into the subway and escaped onto an N Train. Pants and my fall boots and I could have done it, I'm telling you. But seriously, this is New York, normally other people help. Apparently Disneyfication comes with people not giving a shit.

Anyway, I understand that it's more hassle than it's worth for the woman who runs the newsstand to file a police report, and she says this happens all the time. But it just makes me so mad, especially because he got away with shit on the watch of two women in part because I stepped out of his way to be courteous as I thought he was about to make a purchase.

Grrrrrrrrr.

This sort of thing happens frequently to the poor vendor?
What on earth does the nasty wretch intend to do with them?

Anywhere near 30 Rock? I work there three times a week and walk to and from there from the port authority. I was only there for about 2 hours today due to a migraine but if I had been on my game, I'd have helped you.

Oh that sucks!!! Is there any way they could put everything behind the counter and hand it out as it's asked for? They could put samples up so everyone can see what they have.
