Was buying stuff from my deli at the grocery store and one of my favorite splurge desserts was like 6.99 a pound, and I said wow, hope when tRump gets in office this price will drop. She kinda disappeared around a small sign on the counter and just handed me my purchase and wasnt smiling. She was young, and really may-be didnt get what I was saying, or just didnt like my remark. I did say thank you and Id buy it if it were 10.00 a pound before I left, she then did kinda smile.

She may have been young but was smart enough to know not to engage in political banter with customers

on the daily.
My best advice, don't get political with random strangers when asking for or ordering your items.
Don't forget to say please and thank you.
