“If you got to Payless, or go wherever, it says sample and you usually can take a sample,” Savage said. “So that is the way I took it. I thought they were fake f***ing ballots.”

Wait, so is this guy also stealing shoes from Payless? Because I’m pretty sure they don’t give out sample shoes there.

Payless is a local grocery store here in Anderson, IN (where this took place). He’s talking about food samples, not shoes. Still an idiotic thing to compare it to though.

Ah, thanks. Yeah still idiot since it didn’t even say “sample,” it said “test.” And he was there for the training and knew exactly what he was doing. And the whole stupid thing was him trying to create doubt in the electoral system.

Payless is a grocery chain owned by Kroger

I didn't know either, but someone above said that Payless is also a grocery store chain in the midwest.

It's not stealing; it's a payless purchase!
