Happened after 9-11 still to this day. But Punjabs are from India, not the middle east...

Who knows? Most people think Sikhs are muslim too.

We have a community of Sikhs here and they are left alone. I think.

Edit: I think it's because of the heavy Arab population. Though the knife thing can freak some people out.

Well where im from in Cali, all the corner stores are ran by Sikhs like me, thus they all carry weapons so that dont help, but its to protect the store...

Well I have to don't I? It is a gas station...a fossil fuel dispensary on which I need for my car to run...and they don't call it a convenience store for nothing.

 

[Growman3001]

Im like a Kumar type of guy...

 

[missnu]

I met a man at a mattress store that I could have talked to all day long...or like here, read me this book...

 

[missnu]

Well as long as you aren't strapped to a bomb, then I feel confident you won't blow me up, regardless of what the government portrays....

Not all corner stores are gas stations....

Dont stand their reading my magazines for an hour and buy a $0.15 Jolly Rancher, walk out, and expect to do it again!

 

[Growman3001]

I keep a nine iron, with a gun more likely to shoot myself...

I like to practice golf, yea thats it, call me Vijay Singh....

I stop when I need gas...and when I stop for gas I need a soda...and if I get a soda, I have to get everyone else a soda...so 6 dollars in soda, and 50 in gas isn't bad...and I don't read the magazines, or make you wait for my money...I am an awesome consumer...Thanks. Great day...you too...
