Read the rest of the article at the linked page."Crumb and Get It" in Radford had to shut down at 1:15 p.m. Thursday because they ran out of food.
This might happen more than you think from both political parties, most businesses just don't talk about it. The owner of "Crumb and Get It" - did.
Chris McMurray's bakery has been open only since May, barely three months.
Wednesday morning, advance teams for Vice President Joe Biden walked in.
"I approached her she said Joe Biden is coming to town today," McMurray said.
"Crumb and Get It" is a mom and pop store. Literally. Chris and his wife Kelly run the place and need all the business they can get.
McMurray said the Vice President's entourage got to the point and made its pitch.
"She said they have selected 'Crumb and Get It" to be his stop on his way to Blacksburg and was wondering if that was ok."
Here's the part that might make other business owners crazy.
"This is an opportunity of a lifetime but essentially I said 'No offense to you or the campaign but I just decline you guys coming in here. At that time she said 'Are you sure? There's going to be a lot of press, a lot of activity,’" McMurray said.
Why in the world would a new business owner say "no" to a photo op with the Vice President of the United States?
McMurray said it was President Obama's recent remarks about smallbusiness and who built what.
"Very simply, ‘you didn't build that’” McMurray said. “Speaking of small businesses and entrepreneurs all across this country and actually last night my wife was up all night. No sleep, she's worked a full 24 hours."

Here's the back story, we’re told that shortly after Crumb and Get It told Biden’s advance people 'no' -- the secret service walked in and told Chris McMurray ''Thanks for standing up and saying 'no' -- then they bought a whole bunch of cookies and cupcakes.
.... and they sold of out of food so soon because customers streamed in to buy their baked goods to show support for them refusing to host the Biden photo op.
I don't really give a shit except that bit. That's wrong imho. The Secret Sercive shouldn't be seen to be taking sides.Here's the back story, we’re told that shortly after Crumb and Get It told Biden’s advance people 'no' -- the secret service walked in and told Chris McMurray ''Thanks for standing up and saying 'no' -- then they bought a whole bunch of cookies and cupcakes.
I suspect they did not think they would be 'seen' doing that.Originally Posted by Corrupt
I hope this politics-and-food crap just goes away. Seriously, a few months ago people bought Chick-fil-a because they just like Chick-fil-a; now people are buying it just to stick it to the other side, no matter how mediocre Chick-fil-a's food is.*
*I'm cool with CEO Dan Cathy, I just think their sandwich is boring. Deal with it.
This whole story sounds like bs.
Humor and OffTopic?
At the least...Jeez, the next few months are going to be insane.
Profetic words!At the least...Jeez, the next few months are going to be insane.
I always thought them pretty good, but then never cared about their affiliation as I went there for the food and service.
Profetic? Ahh those Teachers earned every penny.......
Your a funny man Lick, I mean Line Doggie....Profetic? Ahh those Teachers earned every penny.......
keep the nasty mean insults out. BTW.. you realize its easier to use the "reply with quote" button than to add quote, copy, and paste?
Don't you have some windows to clean?
This is a bullsh*t story like seraosha said. If you were on a Secret Service detail, Biden's would definitely be the best. Constant hilarity....
We will know soon enough, because if the story is true, retaliation will be swift and harsh.
Obama will end up like JFK ...
