I had driven over to Spartanburg to check out an appliance store. As I pulled into a parking place near the front door, I noticed the ubiquitous white "W" on black-square decal just below the Amex, Master Card, and Visa stickers. I started to turn around and drive back to Greenville. However, I had driven for 45 minutes to see a demonstration of this particular appliance and this store was the only one for miles around with a wired-up demonstrator (but I can buy the appliance in Greenville). I decided to go in, see the vent hood in action, and then mention the "W" sticker.
As I got closer I realized that the smaller print didn't say "The President," or anything like it. It said "Wofford College." Wofford was the college I had just passed on College Street in Spartanburg. I noticed quite a few more of those stickers as I drove around Spartanburg, a couple with liberal-leaning bumperstickers, too.
