So, today was the election day for our next president, something I didn't know was going out in the city was that some franchises decided to offer things to people that voted, for example OXXO, a 7/11 like store offered free coffee to the people that voted and Las Alitas offered an order (or half, I don't remember) of free wings to every voter, I didn't go since we went to buy some food after voting (all the family went together), but we sure went for our free coffees, I was still pretty tired and sleepy after yesterday.
It really surprised me hearing that they were doing this, I was even more surprised with the people that was in the store, there was many people, mostly young and I even saw an old lady (like 70 or older), maybe this is wrong since people should go to vote because they want to, but lets be real here, most of the people in Mexico don't even care, so I think this is a pretty damn good way of doing it.
And the coffee was actually good, not cafe good (or tenampa's good :P), but good non the less.
well thats sad in a way...but whatever works to get the people moving and participating in a democratic decision!
ReplyDeleteYeah, but as long as they are not trying to get people to vote for someone specific, I think it is okay.
