Cashier: “Is that who you’re voting for?”
Me: “I did vote for him, yes.”
Cashier: “Who’s governor now?”

Cashier: “Is he not doing a good job?”
Me: “He’s… not a very nice person.”
Cashier: “Huh. Well, let me ask you this — is Jeffrey Payne for the legalization of weed?”
Me: “Uh… you know, I’m not sure…”
Cashier: “Well, you tell him that if he is, I’ll vote for him.”
Me: “I will definitely pass that along.”
