13. So I went into Steak and Shake tonite to order some food to go.

Oct 2015

The drive up was swamped. To avoid a 1/2 hour wait to order, I decided to go inside to order. I walk in and the manager takes my order. There were only 2 customers, sitting down eating. I informed him the drive up was back logged. So he pulls a worker(probably 21) cleaning tables and tells him to start cooking burgers. To my surprise, the employee barks back and says, " You got me doing tables, cooking burgers, and the drive up, cashier. I should be making 4 times my salary". The manager walks away to the back of the room, as though to ignore him. The employee goes to cooking my burgers and he's mumbling. I pipe up and say, "Hey, I can help you with your salary issue. It's quite simple, just vote for Bernie". He says, "Yeah my friends have been talking a lot about him".
I told him, "Listen dude, if you would like to obtain free college tuition, and increase the minimum wage to 15 an hour", then you owe it to yourself to check him out. It's your future, not mine".

He turns around and smiles. This tells me several things. The word is getting out there. Millennials are crucial to this upcoming vote. And I'm pretty sure he is going to research it and hopefully "Feel the Bern".

It made my day.

Hey, 1 voter at a time!!!! Whatever it takes.
