I'm park at a truck stop about an hour west of St Paul Mn .

[imanamerican63]

There a truck going thru the parking lot with a Trump flag hang off the doors on the trailer along with an American flag. He has made several passes thru the lot looking for a parking spot. It has was 20 minutes since I first saw him come by. He passed several open spots, but I guess he wanted to park closer to the building. Finally he got a spot after someone left. He parked a few spots away from me. I watched him get out of truck wearing a Trump hat and as he walked by my truck he was wearing a t shirt with “f Brandon” on the back. I decided to follow him into the truck stop to get a cold drink. As he walked in an employee saw him and must have seen his shirt. The kid politely walked over to him and told him he must leave. The guy started to argue, but the kid said that the shirt was offensive and stated they had the right to refuse service to anyone who deemed to be problem. The guy left mad, uttering that he would never come back.

I used the restroom and grabbed my cold drink and went to the cashier to pay. The kid was the cashier too. I told him that he was brave to say something to that guy. He replied “it happens an awful lot and the owner has instructed them to be polite and ask them to leave”.

I applaud the truck stop owner for doing this. But as I left that driver was gone!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

1. What a wonderful story.

[3catwoman3]

2. Brave young man for sure.

I applaud the owner's thinking, but fear he is putting his young employees in a difficult position.

[imanamerican63]

3. I thought the the same thing as I was leaving to go back to my truck.

[LiberalArkie]

42. Sounds like logic from Roadhouse and Patrick Swayze

Be Nice until it is time to not be nice

[Karadeniz]

4. Wow !

[Lulu KC]

5. I'm glad he was gone when you left

That was a brave employee!

[canetoad]

6. I really enjoy your stories

The "Truck Stop Chronicles".

At least this Magat left when he was asked and didn't go back for a gun.

[Beartracks]

7. Would that MAGA does go away and never comes back!

It's also kind of funny they guy cruised around for 20 minutes to save himself 30 seconds of walking.

====================

[sdfernando]

24. I have seen that happen a lot

people make circles through a parking lot so they can get a spot really close when maybe 10 spaces way its clear and plenty of spots. I like parking in those areas so no one parks next to me and dings my doors. I don't mine walking, its good exercise. I also always take the stairs at work....well so long as its not a lot of floors. 10 floors and I would take the elevator, but 3 or 4 and its the stairs. Way back when I was a kid, I took the stairs to the top of the Washington Monument in D.C. THAT was a climb!

[mucholderthandirt]

25. My brother says most of them are like that. Lazy, out of shape, and ignorant. Half of them can't drive,

so it's a wonder there aren't more accidents than there are.

He's OTR and born in '63. Every time I see the OP posting I think about my brother. A good Democrat.

[Aristus]

27. There's a reason why MAGAts weight 300 pounds

and look like hypertensive sumo wrestlers.

[Aristus]

38. Yeah, about that; wrote it before MAGAts were a thing.

Brotherhood is wasted on those chuzzlewits.

[live love laugh]

9. The driver sounds cartoonish.

[oasis]

10. "Take that shit somewhere else"

That would be what the Trumpbot deserves.

[calimary]

11. That IS what the Trumpbot deserves.

[byronius]

12. That's a good American.

[mwb970]

13. So many MAGA morons.

They are everywhere.

[DiverDave]

14. He LEFT?

Wasted time, no sleep.
If he needs a parking spot to take a 10, and it's late?
He better hope he finds something before the little apple.

[mucholderthandirt]

26. If he's out of drive time, there better be another truck stop nearby, or a Walmart or something.

Or he's in trouble with the law, and then he can call Trump and cry about it all day long, since he likely wouldn't have a job to worry about anymore.

[OldBaldy1701E]

15. I don't know if you are gone yet.

But, I am waving at you as you pass through the Twin Cities!

Yeah, I even see a few of those around here in north Minneapolis. They are not very overt in their attitudes, but they display their crap with gusto. They also do not seem to talk to anyone when I encounter them at the store. They know how delicate their position is around here.

[sarisataka]

16. Clearwater?

[imanamerican63]

21. It was next truck stop east of there!

[sarisataka]

22. Good to know,

I'll have to stop there next time I go up 94

[mwooldri]

17. Which truck stop?

The Petro 2 with the Nelson Bros restaurant?

[4catsmom]

18. Down here in red country

I think that could be putting your clerks in danger esp if they are kids. Nobody has that kind of civility here. makes me curious to check out Minnesota as a place to live!

[soldierant]

44. I assume you've heard of "Minnesota nice."

[Icanthinkformyself]

19. Bullies are cowards

The shirt, flag and other offensive junk is intended to intimidate. When bullies are by themselves they cower and run away. They don't even attempt to justify their offensive behavior. They know they ae wrong, but can't admit it.

[DallasNE]

20. Yesterday, As I Was Grocery Shopping At Walmart

A middle-aged guy walked in front of me wearing a tee-shirt that read "I'm voting for the felon. Trump 2024". Lack of character is a badge of honor, it seems.

[murielm99]

23. Do you have to shop at Walmart?

Is there a less MAGA friendly place in your area?

[PortTack]

28. Kudos to the kid for telling him to leave! This needs to happen everywhere until the maggots understand the word NO

I liken this to smoking bans …smokers at first threw hissy fits, but decided they would have to quietly comply or leave.

[lpbk2713]

29. He said he wouldn't be back.

That was damn nice of him.

[WilliamLouis]

30. He'll be back

He probably will be back

[AllaN01Bear]

31. after a diffucult night , this made me dmile

[calimary]

41. Hope you're okay, AllaN01Bear!

Difficult nights can be a real bummer, especially for those who are alone.

[MT in SF]

32. I am the only one who thinks this is wrong?

So the guy is wearing a Trump hat and a t-shirt that says "F Brandon" and he should be denied entry into a public place? If he was creating a scene then thrown him out, but it does not sound like this is the case. Wouldn't this be like me going into some place with anti-Trump attire and being thrown out? To me this is feeding the division Trump is causing. Are we going to have two sets of truck stops for now on? Restaurants? Stores? This country is better than that and Maggots have rights too.

[Rabrrrrrr]

34. The presence of "fuck", even if the shirt literally only had the F, certainly qualifies as inappropriate

and a business should be able to refuse entry to such people, whether it's "Fuck Brandon" or "Fuck Trump" or the great t-shirts we used to have at UW-Madison, "Fuck 'em Bucky!"

[MT in SF]

37. Fair debate

I was also thinking the shirt actually said "Fuck Brandon" and I suppose its fair debate as to whether you should be kicked out of a place for wearing a shirt that says fuck. I don't think so, not in a vacuum.

p.s. We used to say "Muck Fishigan" at U of Illinois - much more appropriate. LOL

[imanamerican63]

40. It said "f---k Brandon", the whole f bomb

I was trying to keep it clean! But it definitely the wording!

[mercuryblues]

43. It's more than that

Many states have laws against electioneering within so many feet of a polling place.

I have seen a candidate asked to leave because he was shaking hands with voters on their way in to vote. He obliged and left.

This guy was an ass, he obliged and after he voted put his hat back on. He was asked to remove it until he left the building.
He then punched the poll worker.

Do you really believe this is feeding the division? I think it is the result of trump and his hate filled rallies. Asswipes like this believe they have the right to do whatever they want, without consequences. They are nothing more than trump's brownshirts.

[soldierant]

45. A T-shirt which says "Fuck [fill in blank]: could be regarded as

an incitement to violence. So there's that.

[Rabrrrrrr]

33. Like most bullies, once one calls their bluff they fold right up and disappear.

They're all fucking cowards. It's only the presence of Trump that makes them feel strong, or if they are in a group. But alone? Seems like whether it's in person or on-line, they cannot deal with anyone calling them on their shit and they get terrified and run away/stop typing, usually with some irrelevant comment like "You're probably part of the pervo sex cult and you murder babies!"

[Joe Nation]

35. Minnesota MAGAs

The very idea disgusts me.
