Mess with the bull, ya get the horns. I know it’s not “all” the businesses fault, but they should so ostracize this douchenozzle and provide a huge welcome to Sanders that no one ever does this crap again.
I despised Obama but I would never think of not serving him or one of his administration at my business (if I had one). Well, I do, actually. So I would never think of not selling him a copy of my film “Rockin’ the Wall.”
Why doesn’t a neighboring restaurant have a MAGA Wear discount?? Might help the whole town? Or does the whole down want to go down righteously in a little pile of hatred?
The reason the other business people don’t openly do something like welcome Sarah back, is that they are fellow travelers with the Red Hen. They cannot cross the line out of fear of their party and others in their community - a true betrayal.
Like you, if I had a business and BHO or any of his associates were to patronize my establishment, I’d focus on providing my service as I do all others, welcome them and perhaps address them by name, but never bring up politics. If they did bring it up, I would say something like ...today we are all Americans and I am glad I am here to (make/serve you a delicious dinner). One might be able to hear conversation etc, but they are customers not a captive to my political beliefs, nor me to theirs. Outside my business might be a different story... but just might....
A few years ago I was on an airport shuttle bus from a remote parking lot. The only other person on the bus all the way to the terminal was my very lefty Congressman. When I sat down, he looked in my direction (I was just a little too far for any small talk). I caught him off guard (by his reaction) when I said hello and greeted him by Mr. name. He became cordial in return. I said nothing til I exited as he stayed on. I wished him a good, safe trip to Washington DC and a good day. He returned the civility. I think he wanted to hear from me, to have an opportunity to talk to one of the “people” (these guys like “the people” especially the civil ones) but I knew I would be wasting my words.
Well, they may be having tourism problems there, but let me tell you, I am on the Santa Barbara coast and I have literally never seen anything like this in my long years on this planet. There is a line of RVs on the coast - camping along the Pacific Coast Highway, 15 miles long without a space in between. I was up in the Santa Ynez Wine Country yesterday, and Solvang looked like freakin’ Times Square. You could park with a half mile of Main Street, the wineries had no parking space, even the Ostrich Farm had a line a block long to get in. The merchant at my favorite shop in Solvang said they’ve never seen anything like this weekend - never sold anything like the volume they’ve had since Thursday. Now I see The freeway coming out of Vegas back to SoCal is bumper to bumper for 150 miles. (Glad I’m going the other way tomorrow).
Crumbs baby, everyone is loving their crumbs.
