Idiots who choose to wear offensive t-shirts need to learn that that can have consequences, one's groceries not being bagged being a very minor one. It's not like Evan has a spouse & kids who would be adversely affected by him losing a job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21112957.post-1155921771078050792006-08-18T11:22:00.000-06:002006-08-18T11:22:00.000-06:00I don't know what I would say either.

However, he needs to understand that acting respectfully toward others, no matter what their personal opinions, values, or behaviors, is what we are fighting for. Would it be okay for someone not to serve him, if he were wearing a pro-gay shirt? Of course, in situations in which he is not an employee, he may choose to say that the shirt/opinion/value/behavior of another is offensive to him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21112957.post-1155861719535681282006-08-17T18:41:00.000-06:002006-08-17T18:41:00.000-06:00He should have bagged her groceries...with the bre...He should have bagged her groceries...with the bread and eggs on the bottom - LOL!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21112957.post-1155853158999288252006-08-17T16:19:00.000-06:002006-08-17T16:19:00.000-06:00I suppose that if he is going to be working with t...I suppose that if he is going to be working with the public he's going to be dealing with idiots every day.<BR/><BR/>Consider the source and ignore it.
