I don't want to censor folks from stating their honest opinions, but I also want local businesses to know if they have employees that are offending customers. i can't say I'm a regular customer like you are, but I am probably even less likely to go to Caribou now. Plus they're a chain, now you haev a great reason to patronize a local business instead. I followed the link, but I'm not sure what you mean by "a John 3:13 moment." Do you mean that he's trying to get his ideas on camera by being in the crowd? I guess shaking his head was his "sign." Thank you for posting this personal story.

This is a interesting bit of culture jamming. One of the most famous examples is the <a href="" rel="nofollow">Rainbow Man</a>. He used to wear a rainbow wig and hold up a sign at sporting events that said only John 3:13. John 3:13 is a Bible verse that says "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son...".
