I allow no bumper stickers on Company trucks

[Toots]

Nor does my company send "Christmas Cards" with a Religious message. It matters not whether I am religious or what religion I am, nor to what political party I belong. I/my company do not wish to offend anyone. I consider everyone's business to be valuable and do not wish to jeopardize it by being one sided or controversial. Why should any group try to force my company into doing so? What gives them that right? I wish all my customers a Happy New Year and Happy Holiday Season. Is it a Christian thing to do, to try and force me/my company to put forth their religious message and alienate others whose business I value? Granted it is a very small thing IMO but small things add up over time..

1. One of the best rules for a business.

Don't talk religion, and don't talk politics.

3. And if my customer wants to push the issue on me I look for a new customer.

Don't mix politics and business and don't mix religion and business.

5. Absolutely. I don't think they realize how many will turn and walk away

When they see that Jesus fish on the door. I also wonder why is it only Christians who do that? I've never seen a Star of David announcing a Jewish-run business or any other. Some of the Vietnamese business will have the little shrine, but for some reason that doesn't say to me "if you are not our kind, keep out".

2. smart idea

the only stickers on our company trucks advertise the pest control products we use. The cards we send out to our business clients say "Seasons Greetings" and don't have a religious theme.

4. I wish others followed your lead.

I drive a company car and outside of a Small " Apple" sticker in the window I don't put political stickers on it.

Now my own Volvo wagon is another matter. ;)

6. And as a customer, I don't want to have a pay a few cents

more for your product or services just so you can pander to the religious customers.

You have a good policy.

7. Good plan

I've seen Bush bumper stickers on some pretty major company trucks and it gives me an ill impression toward the company as a whole.

8. Good for you

A very good rule to follow.

9. I try to avoid businesses that advertise themselves as Christian

Doesn't make them Christian. If anything a good reason to be careful. I would only consider it acceptable if the business sells religious merchandise.

10. Good for you. Rec'd an e-mail from a Mary Kay sales rep and included

were scriptures. I told her to remove me at once from her address list, and for the sake of her business to remove those scriptures. Infuriated me. Again, good for you!!
