Blunt Struggles With The Actual Caring-About-Working-People Thing

The Sedalia Democrat reports on the very first stop of Roy Blunt's new "jobs tour":

While the majority of those in attendance were excited about Blunt’s stop, April Hawkins, a waitress at Rustic Pantry, felt the congressman snubbed the staff at the restaurant during his visit. She said since Blunt was touring the state to show his support for small businesses and “the little people,” she thought he should have acknowledged the employees.

“The waitresses didn’t know anything about this (visit),” Hawkins said. “We had this crowd come in and we’re busting our butts, and the man didn’t say anything to us. Not one ‘thank you.’”
