show family friendly videos.

Carol responds:
Hi, Susan. I agree with you. I think that any video store that shows
potentially offensive material and then treats a customer
discourteously is asking to go out of buisiness. I've never been in a
video store that showed anything beyond PG-13 (or a TV program as
opposed to a movie, for that matter). I'd write to the management,
politely, of course, and if I didn't receive a polite apology in
return, I'd boycott the store--and inform the management that they had
lost my business permanently.

Not censorship, Kemper, just respect for customers with children and
common sense.

conversation, penmanship, and balancing your checkbook without a
calculator
