I saw a man wearing a Diebold T-shirt yesterday
He was in my new local supermarket, and obviously working with the manager on the checkout systems there. I was so stunned! Stunned that someone would dare to wear such a thing -- to boast about working for the devil. I stared and stared at him. I didn't dare speak to him. It would have been ugly.

1. He would probably have no idea why you were upset
If he's working in the field, he's just a guy with a job. Doubtful that he sits in on high-level meetings, or can even imagine that his company is involved in such nefarious activites as election stealing.

Educate him.

4. I kinda feel the same way when I see...
DK, Gap, DapperZombie & Witch, Old Navy, Tommy GoFigure...

People feel a need for an identity (especially when they don't have one), and they feel a need to be part of a...whatever.

* messed up this country, but America was ripe to be picked.

5. it's almost certainly his uniform
His boss probably makes him wear that shirt. My partner had to work for his boss for 10 years before he could stop wearing the company logo'd shirt.

7. When do you start bitching that the checkout system doesn't work?
The man has a job and is doing it, leave him alone.
