Regarding the interesting encounter?
So, I went back to the Safeway where the manager was leery of me OCing. I actually had a conversation with him and one of the mid-level supervisors. In the end he still seemed skittish about open carry, but with the knowledge that other managers are ok with it, Safeway's policy, and the OC pamphlet I gave him, he admitted that it is a learning process. He still may ask me to cover up (today I had a fleece jacket on that mostly covered my piece this time around), but I think the information I gave him will allow him to be "ok" with it despite his misgivings.
The mid-level supervisor however was very supportive and had a dozen questions or so for me .. which I happily obliged him.
Methinks a couple of people were edumacated today. We will see how it goes the next time I shop. (The manager certainly didn't want to lose me as a customer).
One other interesting tidbit .. the manager has said he has never seen anyone carry until I came along and the mid-level guy said I was the third person OCing just today. (Safeway on 4th Ave in Renton).
