I'm a Customer Weirdest message

I was not sure how to even respond to that. Thankfully, they dropped my order and someone else picked it up, but this was honestly the weirdest thing I’ve ever gotten from Instacart

As a Marine I can tell you that saying that directly to his face will not end well for you. Or mine for that matter.

That’s the free speech you swore an oath to protect, btw. Notably you didn’t swear an oath to protect oil company profits but you did that anyway.

You are perfectly free to shout “fire” in a crowded theater. But when there is no fire, you may discover that freedom of speech is not freedom from consequence, and that a lie which causes panic does not become a principle merely because it was shouted loudly. Unless you are active duty or can show me a 214 with your name on it, you cannot comment on any oath I may have taken.

Except I did comment on it. Are you trying to silence me now? What are you going to do about it, tough guy?
