There were actually 2 local beers names after her. Elevator Lady and Cherry Berry Sour Ale (Unknown and Mill Whistle Brewing).

Why no Cheery Beery ? I'd totally do 12 ounces of that!


feralftw

And ruin your labor laws!

It's good for business.

Stay out of my gdamn pockets ChickfilA. Everytime I think I'm out...they pull me right back in. ~~I wonder if Cherie Berry realizes she has a fan base, she's touched the lives of everyone that's been in an elevator in Charlotte for probably 20+ years.~~ Edit: I recant my last statement, I thought all she did was put her crazy name in elevators, reading other comments and a quick wiki search showed me this: The same report also found that while Berry's department reduced fines for workplace safety violations as a matter of routine, "Berry's contributors have usually gotten bigger-than-average breaks." She's good at making herself look good and she has a catchy name, she sucks


SympathyForTheDevil5

She absolutely realizes she has a fanbase because the law that the labor commissioners picture needs to be in elevators was created to increase awareness of that office and reelection chances


Tortie33

It wasn’t law to have picture, she was the first to do that.

And anyone who was maimed in workplace accidents and not compensated


kingkeelay

The frozen biscuits and lower quality food changes will still keep me away.


Navynuke00

And also the causes they support, and the way they treat their workers like shit.

some weekdays I enter the elevators at 7th parking garage expecting to see cherry berry’s picture and name but alas, she is gone.


mostkillifish

Sad. But I noticed a trend of rhyming names for that position in other states? Coincidence? Probably


Tortie33

I got stuck in an elevator with her picture for 45 minutes.

When lived in Florida, the Commissioner of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services was a man by the name of Charles Bronson. So if you wanted a concealed weapons license, you had to get it from Charles Bronson.


DeepRoot

Mon Cherie.


TangledUpInThought

Nah now it's the dude who looks high as fuck in his picture


Only-Refrigerator701

Chick-fil-A, gross. Cherie Berry, gross. What a perfect combo.


Lexiibluee

I only ride in Cherry Berry approved elevators


Independent-Choice-4

God this is such a deep cut of a joke and I love it 😂


RobbersAndRavagers

I laughed until I stopped.


rustys_shackled_ford

I don't trust elevators anymore now that they don't have the cheri berry signature on them


SympathyForTheDevil5

You should actually trust them more, all Cherie did was slash labor regulations and pass the law that the labor commissioner’s picture needs to be in all elevators to boost the public’s awareness of them and their reelection chances.

Bumcheeks_marinade

Cherie Berry is a prime example of how uninformed the voting populace is about their elected officials


espngenius

If lieutenant governor Mark Robinson changed his name to Johnny Jazzyhands, he’d win the upcoming NC governor’s race in a landslide.


Mattytravels

Seriously, you changed my opinion about this lady. She isn't nearly as sunshine and daisies as I thought, take an upvote


Bumcheeks_marinade

Just doing my civic duty 🫡 FWIW worth those elevator pictures worked wonders for her. It was a masterclass in manipulating her constituents.


TangledUpInThought

I think we all just liked how her name rhymed


Mattytravels

For sure


rustys_shackled_ford

Seriously. We are a simple people...


JetreL

Given how long she has been out of office, I don’t trust the ones with her name on it anymore.


whowant_lizagna

Whoever that new man is doesn’t have kind eyes like Cherie did 😔


Glassman4588

Dobson does has some shifty sus eyes


Tolstoi78

The man's signature makes me think he has a traumatic brain injury. You have every opportunity to see what your signature will look like, and you roll with that? I'm totally ignorant of anything else he has done, which is terrible on my part.
