No change, no service.

WAUPUN — Barack Obama's Wisconsin Campaign for Change left no change in Waupun last week.

The presidential candidate's campaign staff arrived at the Chit Chat Caf� at 324 E. Main St., last Tuesday to hold a round table discussion about Obama and his positions.

More than 40 people crowded the family restaurant.

But when it came time to leave, the campaign staff got up and left, refusing to pay the tab for coffee.

"When they came the place was full and they started talking," said the waitress Amanda, who didn't want to use her last name. "Then some people said they couldn't hear, and so they stood up and started giving a speech, talking loud enough for everyone to hear.

"We didn't even know they were having a meeting here."

Not quite the impression you want to leave on a highly Republican county.
