I'm an employee of Best Buy in Springfield, IL and the father of happily Breastfed child (Kairi Rayne). Not to mention the husband to be of Crypixie. Well anyways as I was at work a few days ago a man approched me with a problem he had with another customer. I figured it was an issue of he wanted a CD and the other person had the last copy, but alas he was complaing about a mother nursing her child in the store. He told me that I should do something about the woman because she is just promoting public nudity, and that it is disgusting that he has to be subjected to it. Well recently IL Gov. Rod Blagovich (sp?!?) passed a law stating that mothers who are nursing can do so where ever and when ever they please with out fear of ejection from the business. So I proceeded to tell the man tha I could do nothing about it and she is free to do so because it is the law, and the I stated that my wife does the same thing and it seems to bother nobody and nobody other than himself seems to be bothered by this woman. He then demanded to see the Store MNGR. and was told the same thing by him and my MNGR proceeded to add that if the man is uncomfortable with it than maybe he should just not watch. The man became furious and said he refuses to shop in a store that will allow a nude woman to prance around the store. So the man was told to leave and that if he didn't leave my MNGR. would have me and my co-worker escort the gentleman to the door and then ban him from Best Buy and any other sister store for life. He left in an angry fit but with out escort and refused to come back. Just thought I should pass along this event of a nursing mother winning the right to nurse in public. The mother in question approached me later and apologized for raising a fuss. I told her not to worry about it because my Fiance does the same thing. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/img/vbsmilies/smilies/fbbf.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="familybed breastfeeding">

Lol, having had lived in springfield, IL for 2.5 yrs, I could TOTALLY imagine this happening. It's good to hear that you guys knew what you were talking about and sent that idiot packing.

This sounds like fodder for a positive 3 minute activist letter.
