Live Free or (air) Dry. Politics shouldn't be part of appliance shopping.
When I drove up, an employee who didn't like my car's campaign bumper sticker approached me and asked me to move my car. I was confused and initially didn't really think he was serious as I explained that I was picking up a refrigerator. He relented and said that would be fine, but that he'd have to charge me more because of my political campaign sticker. I initially appreciated his comment as good-natured sarcasm, but as I proceeded into the store, he began bellowing to his staff colleagues about my political preferences while also making homo-erotic associations to that effect, all completely inappropriate and way over-the-top even in today's hostile political climate. His tone was threatening and bullish. Needless to say, I didn't buy anything and immediately left while making very clear how I felt.
Being harrassed for my political views, my bumper sticker, my clothes, or any other reason by staff is not just rude, it is shockingly dim-witted. How does WS Enterprises expect to do any business with their mostly conservative, freedom-loving, and libertarian-minded customers?
Really, just go somewhere else where you won't be harassed about your politics. read more
