36. Boxed in living in Utah

Mon Sep 10, 2012, 05:46 PM

Sep 2012

I not only live in SUPER RED Utah, I'm not Mormon either. I went to Seven-11 specifically to get an Obama for President cup and fill it with "coffee". I received several looks of disdain and even the cashier was tepid. So I went and got another Obama cup with coffee and prominently set it on the counter while rummaging through my purse for change as slowly as I could.
The local 7-11 franchise owners hate this promotion where they have to report daily how many Obama cups are purchased and how many Romney cups are purchased. (You can get "hot chocolate" instead of coffee for those who buy a Romney cup). They don't want to even put out the Obama cups.
I'm waiting for my Obama yard sign. I'll probably get TP'd though. I appreciate the encouragement though!
