Message: <blockquote data-quote="3catcircus" data-source="post: 6120472" data-attributes="member: 16077">This is a lawsuit waiting to happen.  Does the store have insurance for when one of them decides to wrap his car around a tree (or plow into another driver) after drinking at the store?  So - they want his (or his employees') time for free?  Or would they be paying a salary for the employee who has to stay late to babysit their dumb asses?   How the heck does this have any relevance whatsoever? Don't like the game?  Don't play it, regardless of where the game is being held.It sounds like he should be banning the "cool ones" instead.  He has a group of people who are older (i.e., generally likely to have more disposable income) who continue to come back to the store every week.  He has a bunch of malcontents who are complaining about free stuff and driving off other potential players.  Are they paying for table space at the store?  Even though D&D encounters is free, if they are hogging all the table space, they're driving away people who might want to play other games (and who would be spending money on new product in the process).  Are they making it so that potential players are made to feel unwelcome?  That's another potential lost sale.Any FLGS owner needs to make it abundantly clear that players are allowed to game there based upon his good-will.  In the case of D&D Encounters, WotC supplies the kits so that FLGS can increase their business (which in turn, increases WotC's business) - anything that negatively impacts the store's bottom-line needs to be addressed - and in this case, it means telling the "cool players" to get their act together.</blockquote>
