NEWNAN, Ga. – Georgia Congressman Drew Ferguson was an unusual cashier last week for many regular customers at a local RaceTrac c-store, according to the Newnan Times-Herald.

Ferguson, who was elected in November to serve Georgia’s 3rd District, spent some time ringing up customers at the store as part of the NACS In Store program. RaceTrac is headquartered in Georgia and has had several congressmen come to visit stores and get behind the cash register, Billy Milam, RaceTrac president, told the news source.

“It’s one thing to go to Washington and talk to your representatives,” Milam said. “But it’s different when congressmen come to the district and spend time in the store. “We give them about three minutes of training.”

Ferguson added: “We came today to learn about one of our really important to corporate citizens in Georgia, RaceTrac. To learn what they do, what their employees go through, meet some of their employees and understand the investment they have made in the state of Georgia and the investment they have made in the community.”

The visit was part of the NACS In Store program that helps members of Congress hear industry concerns and interact with members of the public. For more about the NACS In Store program, click here.
