I ran into Ralph Buona (Supervisor on the Loudoun County Board) and he was a huge asshole to this cashier. I regret campaigning for him.

So long story short I was in Walmart and saw Buona as well. We had small talk and caught up, I was on his last reelection campaign for Supervisor. Well, I saw him approach this cashier and it all started out good until he had to do a price check. I noticed Ralph’s demeanor change and he began mumbling. Then he started 'laying into him', screaming: 'You suck at customer service! I don’t know why you ever, I don’t know how you ever got hired here.'
Things got even worse when he ran his credit card and it was declined or at least I think it was. I couldn’t see the screen I just know he ha ded it back to him with a scared look on his face. Then Ralph really lays into this kid, that it’s his fault, he can’t run the computer. 'There’s money in my account, I just transferred it in, it’s your dumb fucking ass that can't [figure it out].'
At that point, I stepped in and told Ralph to step aside, saying: 'This young man's obviously having a bad day.' He proceeded to break down in tears, and walked around to the bagging area to hug me and explained what had happened earlier that day.
In the end, Ralph got his groceries and left but not before complying to the manager or I guess the shift leader??? about the incident. If this is the real Ralph, then I regret voting for him. Loudoun deserves a better Conservative in that seat.
