Now I'm reliving the guilt for crossing a picket-line once. An art supply store in NYC was being boycotted/picketed and I only found out where I had been told this was the only place in town to get my [insert super rare item here, oh come to think of it, it was probably a rare letraset rub down] which I needed to complete a class assignment for that evening. I saw the picket line and approached the door, the first guy in line told me that by going in, I was supporting the shops bad salary/bad healthcare/I can't really remember. I told him I was sorry, had to go in, grade was in jeopardy.
I was the only person in the entire store. It was eerie.
