I do, he is the idiot that is getting vaping banned by management because it's private property and they don't think it's fun fielding complaints from customers.
Wow, he just straight up blasts that whole aisle. Karma Is a ....... That's just ......ed behavior, someone gonna pop that dude one day and I.hope he is making a vid when it happens. Act like a fool,gonna get treated like a fool.
I don't know him. Because if I did he would have a permanent (ladies please excuse the expression) ..... slap mark across his stupid mug.

Well, incredibly self centered. Maybe a day will come when he discovers he can have fun without annoying everyone around him.
I like having fun with people, not in spite of them
You guys here are the best, just sayin....

You guys here are the best, just sayin....I'll keep an eye out for him. I work right down the street from the VK on Mingo.
I wouldn't mind having a conversation with him.
If anyone thinks that our concerns are just fear mongering, here is a story for you. I have a friend who manages one restaurant in a national chain of family restaurants. A couple of years ago, I went in to dine and asked him if I could vape at my table. He apologized first, then told me how recently a guy like this dude came in and was vaping at his table much in the same fashion as this dude. Customers complained and when he had to address the guy, the guy angrily proclaimed he wasn't smoking and that my friend should back off (but his language was much more colorful). It escalated, and the guy was 86'd. After corporate got the report, they made the decision to ban vaping at ALL of their establishments. So thank you very much, anonymous vaping jerk...way to promote the vaping agenda! 
I hope that when rules are made they are made for a good reason. Someone being a jerk shouldn't mean a blanket ban on something. Managers should use some common sense when making rules. This could apply to anything not just vaping.
Sorry didn't mean to attack you Lisa. But the bigger picture for me is that although he was acting immature, blaming everyone who vapes is a major folly.

custom-classic, that's MY VK store, too. In fact, I volunteered there for over a year when they first opened. I worked at least three days a week after I got off my regular job. I was there at the very beginning when it was just Jeff (the then manager) and me. Then Cory came on, then Josh (the now manager) and Travis and James (no longer there) then Katie and Joe (now ...'t mgr) and the rest. Have you been going to that store long? You know they're opening a store on Peoria very soon. Michelle told my they wanted to be open by early October. Don't think it's open yet..... Cory is going to manage it.
Did you go to the vape meet a couple of weeks ago at the Warehouse on Peoria? I was there.
Hi, I'm Jan.
@ azzaman...she wasn't ....she (sorry Lisa I don't know you) was merely stating when there are people doing this in the "over the top manner" and "without concern for other people" we are going to get a ban as soon as. If anyone in a plane started doing what he did I would be arrested for flight rage.
I don't know how much money is piled in by the tobacco company's in the US but in the UK they give a huge amount to the national health service for what they sell to keep them quiet about smoking. If the ban on vaping does happen there is only one winner.
Just my thoughts.

I agree, but when they didn't have enough information to go on...it makes sense why they made a rash decision. My manager friend agrees that it may not have been the best decision based on what he knows about my vaping habit, but he did point out that since smoking has been banned there, the non-smoking patrons shouldn't have to be subjected to another haze when they don't understand what it is. Allowing vaping there just presented too many obstacles at the time in preserving a safe and comfortable dining experience for everyone. Looking back, I suppose if it was my restaurant and I saw how the rest of the customers were reacting to the presence of "smoke" I probably would have banned it as well. After all, protecting the interest of my bottom line would have been the top of my priorities. I just think if the guy had handled himself differently, it may have gone a different way. I know the manager wanted to let me vape and would have had that whole exchange gone more smoothly where other options could have presented themselves. Perhaps they will change the rules someday when the general populace has a better understanding of what vaping is.
PS, there are other dining venues here that do allow vaping in specific areas...not many, but a few. One of which is another national brand restaurant...I took the time to sit down with their manager and show them what it is and explain why I do it. They decided vaping would be allowed in the lounge, but not in the rest of the restaurant. That is where smoking was allowed before it was banned. Works for me.

Hey Jan,
I've only been in there a handful of times over the last month or two so I can't put any of those names to any faces.
Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of the vape meet or I would've stopped by. Hopefully there'll be another one around here soon.

I understand the point that's being made, but I dislike when rules are made based on the action of a single person. The actions of the person was the issue, the vaping was secondary.
