(The shop I work in has a TV that plays the news 24/7. It has picked up a story about a judge ruling that the Obama healthcare bill was unconstitutional.)
Customer: “Well, good! It is unconstitutional! You can’t force anyone to get health care if they don’t want it. This country is becoming too socialist! We don’t need any socialist programs!”
Me: *avoiding the topic* “Your total comes to [total].”
Customer: “All right, here you go.”
(The customer hands me her food stamps card.)
