    "I can't shop here if you are voting for Obama!"

    Hey all, I'm Canadian but I have now traveled to the U.S. on a visa and begun my life in America. Wedding is next month, May 24.

    Anyway this happened to a friend of my fiance's at work. This person works in a small hobby shop and the customer in question was wanting to buy a model of a fighter jet. She comes up the counter and this ensues:

    FF = fiance's friend
    SC= Self explanatory

    SC: I want to buy this but I need to ask you something first.
    FF: Sure, what do you need? (thinking it's a question about the product)
    SC: Are you voting for Obama?
    FF: Excuse me?
    SC: The democratic primary, are you voting Obama?
    FF: What has that got to do with anything?
    SC: Barack Obama is evil. I will not buy anything from anyone who supports him.
    So who are you voting for?
    FF: That's really none of your business ma'am.
    SC: The hell it isn't! I won't buy this if you are voting for him! I must know.
    FF: Whether or not you choose to shop here is your choice ma'am but I am under no obligation to tell you who I'm voting for.
    SC: That's not fair, let me speak to your manager.

    Manager comes up and SC repeats her demands

    M: Well ma'am my employee is right, it's none of your business who she is voting for. If you want to purchase the product we'll be happy to help but if not I'd appreciate if you left the store.
    SC: You'd tell me if you weren't voting for him, I bet both of you are voting Obama!
    M: It doesn't matter who we--
    SC: YOU ARE VOTING OBAMA! YOU'RE AS EVIL AS HE IS! I WILL NEVER SHOP HERE AGAIN!

    And with that she drops the model on the counter and storms out.

    I was scratching my head for a good hour after hearing this story, was this person whacked or what?

            I would have been forced to explain to the asshat that not everyone is a democrat.

              Anybody who bases their purchasing decisions on the parties or candidates the company or proprietor supports, left or right, is more than a little whacked in the head.

              I've personally gotten this from both sides. I had a guy go off on me because we didn't have American flags in stock and called us Communist. And then later some woman threw a fit and complained at the service desk because we had one of Ann Coulter's books on the best sellers endcap. We don't even decide which books go out there--the book distributor does.

              Makes me pretty happy I'm more libertarian than anything else. I don't have to identify with the garbage coming out of the two major parties.

                That's....wow. I don't think I've ever had that happen even with the most spaced out moonbats that have called me. But then again Canadian politics is fundamentally unexciting and doesn't really inspire much insanity.

                You're doing it wrong. You're suppose to marry an American and then bring them north to rescue them from US politics. Don't you remember the plan?

                  Why go further?

                  There literally is no political debate to be had in this. Someone was off their meds, or needed to be on the program.. BADLY!

                    I would add "when they are not being advertised" somewhere to that. I wouldn't want to support a business that cared so much about a candidate they blatantly advertise it or give corporate profit to that person.

                        Up until about three years ago, my answer, had I chosen to give it, would have been "I don't vote."

                        I wonder what she would have said to that.
