I dunno it’s always awkward when folks just up and get into your business like that. I usually just do the “damn, that’s crazy” until they leave :joy:

Whenever someone starts with that shit I just tell them to go fuck themselves.
I’m saying this on the presumption that you have a weapon under your counter.

Just do some, “company policy” shit about not talking politics then look up at the ceiling and say, “they’re always listening, you know…”

Whenever people start to talk about politics, religion, their favorite football club…they start to sound stupid even though they might not be. It it is hard to convince people based on their belief…and if there is no respect for facts.

I used to work in a pub in a very “white” part of town. Motherfuckers would just come in and start spouting the worst sort of racist shit at me (actual real Hitler level racism, not just dodgy opinions) like I was automatically just gonna agree with them because I’m white too. It’s as if they’d never met someone who disagreed with them.

EDIT: I suppose I shouldn’t complain too much, imagine the shit I would have heard if I wasn’t white.

Have you seen Fargo? The bit where the checkout girl doesnt want to answer the question so she just smiles and cocks her head to side and stares vapidly into space…
Try that.
People try to engage me in political conversation weirdness at work sometimes, I usually just ignore them. Silence can be powerful, let someone with dumb opinions speak long enough, and they will show you how dumb they really are.

Show them the picture of the lady holding the “KEEP YOUR GODDAMN SOCIALIST HANDS OFF MY MEDICARE” sign at a Trump rally and laugh at them.
