There was a card shop in the next city over that was open when I was a kid. I remember going there many times when I was 8-11 and the owner always treated me and any other kids as a nuisance/waste of time. I finally quit going to the shop and it closed eventually. Fast forward 15 years and I was living in that city and a card shop had opened. I had not collected cards in years but decided to go in and bought a few things. i would go in there 1-2 times a month and probably spend $50.00 a month or so. This went on for probably close to a year. I went in there for what turned out to be the last time and overheard another customer say the owner's first name. I had somehow never learned the owner's name. Anyway, it was the same name of the store that I went to as a kid. I asked the guy if the owner was the same one that had a shop in the late 1980 and early 1990s. He said it was. I remembered how the owner treated me as a kid and I walked out and have never returned. Jerk.
