Might have misread the saleswomen helping me, but I thought she might be to young to know.....

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 wasn’t smiling. She was young, and really may-be didn’t get what I was saying, or just didn’t like my remark. I did say thank you and I’d buy it if it were 10.00 a pound before I left, she then did kinda smile.

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.
