That's funny, guess the most they can do is ask them to leave? Since they are not really doing anything against the law.

That's hilarious! They probably did as much work as some of the employees!

The website has a whole detailed account of what transpired that day. It is a long drawn out ordeal, but makes for some good reading.

I can't see the video on this ancient machine that I'm typing on, but I'm guessing that's Improv Everywhere?
If so, check out their website for the latest thing - they took 200+ people and sent them into Grand Central Station, where they all froze solid for five minutes while the normal travellers moved around them! Very cool, harmless fun.

(Edit: OK, I just saw the other thread.... it's still cool though ;-)

Perhaps Bust Buy was worried some of the imposters would actually be helpful and knowledgeable.
