To be fair, Election Day for the most part
went pretty smoothly.
In Los Angeles and a lot of big cities,
businesses boarded up their stores
in anticipation of possible protests and looting,
stores like Pottery Barn and Tiffany in Beverly Hills.
But you know what?
I was surprised to see how many smaller businesses
assumed people would want to steal from their stores.
A lot of these places, I don't think needed to worry.
For example, this pet food store Tails & Scales
probably did not need to board up.
The Bassoon Center in Detroit
probably overestimated its popularity.
Honey's Honey and Hummels,
North America's only honey and hummel store,
I think they were just,
well, they were being cocky to board up.
The owner of Reno, Nevada's SAT Workbooks store,
probably just being paranoid.
The LaserDisc and VHS Emporium in Phoenix, Arizona.
Yeah, probably unnecessary caution.
Why would A-1 Attack Dogs Training Center
think anyone was going to break in?
Look at this one.
This store is selling merch for the '90s hit sitcom Coach
starring Craig T Nelson boarded up.
No, not necessary.
The iPhone case bedazzler at the Glendale Galleria?
Come on, and finally, even on Hollywood Boulevard
the people dressed as Elmos thought they would be looted.
Yeah, people went overboard.
