Before the election, the guy behind me in line asked who was responsible for the donuts I was buying being so high. The cashier said Biden & I said no greed. We went back & forth a couple of times. I forgot my phone when I left, so I went right back in to get it. The cashier was starting to hand it to the owner. She handed it back to me & I said "see you upset me". She laughed and I left the store. I have never seen her there working after that so matter when I go there. She broke their rule for sure.

I don't agree with threatening her job Lifeafter70 Jan 2025 #1

On the other hand their leader is doing more than threatening jobs. Biophilic Jan 2025 #2

Yes he is Lifeafter70 Jan 2025 #5

I didn't read that as threatening her job NJCher Jan 2025 #6

Right. And "nice place you got here, shame if it burned down" isn't a threat either. Orrex Jan 2025 #11

Maybe she learned something. paleotn Jan 2025 #12

I feel much the same, though locally my lack of support will mean little Orrex Jan 2025 #13

It's not threatening her job. Actually, the opposite happens FoxNewsSucks Jan 2025 #10

I didn't see OP as threatening anyone's job. AND there is a big difference spooky3 Jan 2025 #14

Fuck that asshole, she had it coming for her unprofessional behavior. Maru Kitteh Jan 2025 #21

I got a laugh out of your 1st sentence tinymontgomery Jan 2025 #32

Convenience store cashiers often don't follow politics. LeftInTX Jan 2025 #8

OP gave her the chance to clarify. Her response suggested to me that OP interpreted the comment fairly. nt spooky3 Jan 2025 #15

Sounds like he may have confronted her angrily. That's my impression. He never told her what he was confronting LeftInTX Jan 2025 #18

but before his FAFO comment, he asked her what she meant: spooky3 Jan 2025 #22

Once she didn't answer him, he should have let it go Polybius Jan 2025 #25

If the employee felt intimidated, she may have been. How did she know that he was asking about politics? LeftInTX Jan 2025 #26

She didn't have a sign but she made a comment that could reasonably be interpreted spooky3 Jan 2025 #28

She never said anything about having the "country back". She never said anything.... LeftInTX Jan 2025 #30

I totally agree Polybius Jan 2025 #23

After reading the op again, I agree with you Lifeafter70 Jan 2025 #16

did she mean out of stock items? macwriter Jan 2025 #17

Did you specifically ask her, "Is this about Trump?" LeftInTX Jan 2025 #19

No NT macwriter Jan 2025 #20
