yoyo56-sweetie-you DO NOT HAVE to go there – look at the price –
if you are feeling uncomfortable, then just say NO -there is a reason you feel that way-you don’t need the discomfort and worry – they are not the only show in town, have the stuff delivered, get a sibling/parent to go,
if you are going to be there and feel bad to be mean, you can be blunt, and say that you don’t mean to be rude, but you know, in this town, i really have to watch my reputation, so don’t take it personally but i am going to be a bit cool-or you can disguise yourself a little with a bun,glasses, (sunglasses),hood,scarf over your mouth, or you can keep your tehillim handy, and say tehillim while waiting to be served, the cellphone idea is good, listen to chazak shiurim, or listen to an ipod-
it is a very short step between levels of inappropriate behavior, stop it now.
