Well, not quite OWS. This was the "Occupy Atlanta" 'tards.
A guy posted this on another forum I'm on and thought it was good enough to share.
One of my housemates works in an officebuilding in downtown Atlanta that is right across from the occupy crowd. Once or twice a week, she has lunch in a deli that specializes in gourmet sandwiches. The owner, who runs the register every day, is a transplant from NY, and has 6-10 gentlemen making sandwiches every day. You know the story, started a store on his own, built his business on his own, and reaps the rewards. So my friend is in there having lunch the other day, when a young hippie girl in a wheelchair comes into the store and asks the owner if he would donate some free sandwiches to the "cause." The owner listened to her spiel, and very politely refused. He said that he did not agree with any part of their protest, and would not be donating any of his hard-earned supplies to them. He would be more than willing to sell her friends sandwiches at full price, but thats as far as his charity would go. He finished by saying: "and make sure to tell your friends shame on them for sending a disabled girl with a sob story in here to try to get me to give up what I've worked so hard for to a bunch of lowlifes with no job. Now, would you like to buy a sandwich?"
I'm going to have lunch there this week.
