Managers at the shops at liberty place would prefer it if you kept your political opinions to yourself.
For a few weeks, Gary Dorfman with Jake's Philadelphia Cheese steaks set up an informal poll in which customers could vote for the democratic candidate they liked best, by dropping an m&m into a glass tube marked Obama or Clinton:
"It was getting a little bit of coverage and I was hoping that it could lead to maybe one of the candidates stopping by and voting for it themselves!"
But before he could get his hopes up, Dorfman says Liberty Place managers shut down the m&m vote:
"As a new owner, I mean I've only been in business for a year and a half and finally got something that got people talking about it on the outside and now it's shut down."
When asked about the m&m poll, Jack Fazio, General Manager of the shops at Liberty Place refused to comment. Dorfman says Fazio's silence doesn't keep customers from talking:
"We keep getting customers asking what happened and who won and things like that and why its down and you just have to give them the short answer that it was against management policies here."
