I Am Your Governor...

Unread post by Bryce »

Up front, this story was related to me by a person that has a relative that works at the Costco in Traverse City.

Costco, Traverse City, gets a phone call inquiring if they have a certain generator in stock. Customer is told they have one in stock. Customer asks for them to reserve it for her and she will be sending someone to pick it up. The customer is informed that they don't reserve items for customers. Caller say's, "I'm Gretchen Whitmer, I'm your Governor." Big Gretch is informed that store policy prevents them from doing that.

About an hour later the store receives a phone call from a District Manager in the Detroit area telling them to reserve it. They did, but told her she would have to pick it up in person to use her charge along with her membership card. They eventually made arrangements to meet her at the back door to complete the sale.

Can't verify if the story is factual because I got it second hand, but I'm inclined to believe it.

There's class difference on display right there. The ruling class and the rest of us.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

Who cares?

If this is the worst "abuse of power" you can drum up, we are doing pretty good.... How could you possibly like Donald Trump if this kind of thing offends you? The Orange menace is living in an active code violation in Florida.
For Kristian Trumpers are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.

My friend has a cousin once removed whose neighbor told him that she wanted them to throw in one of those rotisserie chickens at n/c too!

This seems really suspect.

No one else in her circle has a Costco membership they could use to get the generator and just get paid back? I mean her hubby could do that undetected in these days of mask wearing.

But yeah... even if true ... who cares?

I used to work in retail. I have on many occasions received phone calls from customers pretending to be somebody else if they thought it would mean they would potentially receive special treatment. Even if this story is true as told, until I see the face of the person on the phone, I don't believe they are who they say they are.

Considering her husband already tried that in the spring, and she doesn't strike me as particularly bright, I do believe this is likely a true story.

Nahh, it's just that I've never done network news before and figured I'd have to start at the bottom.
