I'm in a coffee shop...should I shed my Brewers cap?

This is just weird. From the BBC:

Easyinternetcafes - owned by Stelios Haji-Ioannou, the founder of low cost airline Easyjet - claims the headgear is linked with "deviant" behaviour. ...

"Since deviant behaviour can be associated with the wearing of baseball caps we are politely asking people who enter our premises not to wear caps.

"This policy is designed to combat anti-social behaviour such as theft."

Uh huh.

another idea

as useful a solution would be instead of asking everyone to take off there hat, insiting that everyone put on a baseball cap.

...imagine a New York or Philly coffee shop where everyone has to wear their team affiliation on their sleeve. I'd probably be ok in the Brewers hat, but a room full of Mets, Yanks, and Sox fans? crazy...

driving school

Advice from my dad when I started driving:

Cops pull over red cars more
Cops pull over people with hats on

Enough to scare me straight. I only wear a hat now when my hair is messy or it's a windy day out.

I'm such a little ruffian.

that's true

I read an article a couple of years ago about some banks that are posting signs in the entraceway requesting all customers to remove their hats. Apparently the vast majority of robberies are committed by hat-wearing ruffians (such as yourself <g>) and this policy did actually decrease theft in that bank's branches. I wouldn't have ever thought the same principle applied to cafes, though.
