Don't take your husband shopping

Dear Mrs. Fenton,

Over the past six months, your husband, Mr. Bill Fenton has
been causing quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this type
of behavior and have considered banning the entire family from shopping in
any of our stores.

We have documented all incidents on our video surveillance equipment.
Three of our clerks are attending counseling from the trouble your husband
has caused. All complaints against Mr. Fenton have been compiled and
are listed below.
