I guess it was inevitable.

We have been getting phone calls and people coming into the mall asking for items with the confederate battle flag to purchase "for an investment." sigh.

The only item we have had in the mall was a vintage jacket with the flag motif which was snapped up last week. I hope no one decides to capitalize on this and bring the crap in.
