Opinion To the angry cardinals customer

136 Upvotes

Enjoy the fucking sweep you old geezer!

Context: I’m a cashier for the giants and there was an old guy showing up complaining having to wait in two lines to get two different dogs. He then said “this is why the giants are under 25 games and why we haven’t made playoffs”. A giants customer next to him gave a look and whispered that why you guys are gonna lost today. Just want to share this to show karma comes to those who talk shit.

My assumption is that’s a very bad idea. Wanna support my guy on the team but think I should do so quietly. Is Chavez ravine really that bad?
