MarginOfError Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 This was just too funnyHelen Rappaport, a Utah Democrat, was thrilled with the former Alaska governor's visit to Salt Lake City.Rappaport stopped at the Salt Lake City Costco to do some shopping, unaware that Palin was scheduled to be there for a book signing.So Rappaport, after noticing the parking lot full of cars, was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to maneuver her shopping cart through the store with hardly anybody in the aisles. She also got a prescription filled with no wait.While going through the check-out lane, again with no wait, she told the clerk she forgot to get some grape tomatoes, which she loves, so she would be right back.That's when the bells went off.The clerk told her they had no tomatoes that day.No tomatoes? At Costco?As she was leaving, she noticed a man with a store manager's name tag and asked him why they had no tomatoes. He informed her the store did have tomatoes, but they were taken off the shelves for a few hours.It turns out that Palin had been pelted with a tomato at an earlier stop on her book tour and the management at the Costco was determined it wouldn't happen here.The manager told an employee to go into the storage area and get Rappaport some tomatoes, which he gave her for free.So, because of Palin, Rappaport not only got to shop with no lines, she got free tomatoes.Full Article Quote
john doe Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 I would be wary of believing much of what Rolly writes. It has been shown that he likes to stretch the truth to make political points against the right. He also like to write things based upon one person's telling of a story without bothering to verify any portion of it. Quote
Dravin Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Hm... /me starts thinking of a scheme whereby he convinces people to throw his shopping list at book signers. Quote
Wingnut Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 1) I'm not sure that it's supposed to be taken seriously. Sounds pretty tongue-in-cheek to me. 2) What's a Democrate? Quote

john doe Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 What a hater! Yes, he seem to be a lot of the time. Quote
Moksha Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 Yes, he seem to be a lot of the time. You wouldn't think he had much material on which to base his politcal observations on in Utah. BTW, did Costco lock up their eggs too? Quote
