It brought attention? Let me tell you a story. I was once a cash register at some fast food restaurant. Yes, I'm a conservative but not a blue blooded one. A blue collar conservative, if you will. White collar, now; thankfully as God has been good to me and mine.
Anyway, we were busy, and had a line out the door and two people on register. Register one was booming! Line moving quickly, my line, not so much. You see, register one had just come in; while I had been working the entire morning before the lunch rush. As such, I ran out of all the cash in my drawer save for the twenties and hundreds I had fat stacked under my change drawer. The protocol was to call the manager over and he would replace my drawer and take the excess cash as it was unlikely I would need it, and add that to my earned count.
However, when I called the manager, he did not come. Because, again, we were busy. The lunch rush had just started. I called him again, my line began to merge with register one's line. The line already going out the door. I could feel the frustration coming off the customers as I tried to get my manager's attention. He ignored me, and I tried and failed to ignore the customers scathing glare.
Finally, I snapped! I slammed my register drawer closed and... to my utter shock and awe... some how threw the register six feet across the floor. Fortunately, it didn't hit anyone but it got the attention I needed.
And then some.
Now, sure, I got my manager's attention then. As well as everyone else in the store. But does that make my action, or the actions by the governors who are doing this, right?
No. No, it doesn't.
It is childish and stupid.
