Utah juice bar charges liberals $1 more
Associated Press - Thursday, January 17, 2013
SALT LAKE CITY — A juice bar that charges liberals $1 more than conservatives says those on the political left are happy to oblige in the Utah oil town of Vernal - "all three of them," the owner jokes.
But wait. Do conservatives favor almond milk with blended avocado?
Yes, says George Burnett, a conservative who happens to be a fitness nut and a fan of healthy food. Weeks after he opened the I Love Drilling Smoothie & Juice Bar,
he's listing one price for conservatives and $1 more for liberals, whom he blames for many of the country's problems.
"At my prices, it's still a good deal. But those who believe in big government and reckless spending cost all of us. So I should charge them more," Burnett said Wednesday.
Burnett can't really tell a liberal by appearance "unless they drive up with out-of-state plates in a Subaru," he said. "I know it because they flip me off."
Burnett said he was putting aside liberal surcharges for conservative causes. This month he's donating it to the Heritage Foundation.
