Woman upset by purchase of SHAREA COKE

This is a true story...

I was standing in line in a upscale grocery store on the west side of Cleveland OH.

A woman started expressing dismay over the 12 pack of Coke she had picked out - incredulous that the store would sell "Moslem Coke"

I stood by as the cashier listened to her complaint (don't think the cashier was getting it) - and jumped in to declare...it's "SHARE A COKE" - not SHAREA (ie Sharia) COKE...

I restrained myself to a healthy sigh - and eyeroll. It was an older lady - and I wasn't going to take her to task.

But - This is Donald Trumps reality in action...

(Not sure I posted this story on DU before - I searched and didn't see it - but sorry if I duped myself)
