Bringing your own sticks to a B&M

I think this is fairly common. But you always have a chance to vote with your wallet. As a regular you might want to share your concerns with the owner for clarification and his stance. If you are a regular I doubt he wants to lose your future business. Bottom line is he probably needs to generate more income and felt the need to implement this policy as a solution. Who knows. Share your feelings and concerns with him and see what happens.

I imagine you're not the kind of customer they're worried about.

The manager pulled me aside last week to tell me about the new policy - this applies to everyone.

That's just the thing, the owner and manager (2 different guys) don't seem to want to make money. They've changed store hours multiple times, right now they close at 6pm on Saturday and are only open 12-4 on Sunday. And football's starting back up, how stupid is that? Of course, they might change the hours again. They've also closed early several times because it was slow, kicking out the people who were there. It's happened to me a couple times.

As far as not losing customers, someone told the manager after hearing the policy that he just won't come anymore and the manager's response was, "Fine, go ahead."

The weather's cooling off, I think I'll just sit on my patio for now.
