This afternoon I was shopping at a new, “super” grocery store in my area that sells groceries and bed linens and electronics, etc.
While I was going by the electronics section, I heard a woman chewing out the guy behind the counter because every television in the section was tuned to NBC – and at that time, NBC (and every major news network in the USA) was covering the Presidential Inauguration. I have watered down the political rhetoric, but she was stating that this showed an obvious bias of the store toward the new president and that she therefore never was going to shop there again.
The guy explained that the televisions had been tuned to NBC and whatever NBC was showing for the past month, so today had been no different. The woman said that the store should have changed the channel in consideration for those who did not want to hear about today’s major event and repeated that this showed the political feelings of the store and its management.
I had to laugh at the absurdity of her thin, hyper-political skin.
(And, no. This is NOT an invitation to start a political debate.)
