Not only is it not illegal/immoral to post a picture of a receipt online, she kept Applebee's name out of it. The pastor brought Applebee's into it, not her. And publicizing is not the same as instigating.Why stand up for an employee who acted unprofessionally, and attack a customer, even if the customer was a douche
Because being perceived as a company that doesn't support douches is a good thing, and being a company that does support douches is a bad thing. For business.
>Not only is it not illegal/immoral to post a picture of a receipt online Didn't say it was or wasn't legal or moral, just said it was unprofessional. >being a company that does support douches is a bad thing. Seems to be working fine for Tap-Out, Hurley, and Monster energy drinks. I hope you realize that no matter how you or I feel about "douches", douches are still a market and still spend their money same as anyone else. You don't want to alienate a demographic over one employee. In this case the fact that the person was a pastor, regardless of being a douche or not, probably would have caused quite a stir in the media and religious communities had Applebees took the side of the employee. It's just business. I would have done the same thing to avoid any heat against my bottom line as well. Personal quests for making points and standing up for things isn't always a bet you want to hedge with your company brand name. Again, I don't like douches either, but most businesses still don't mind taking their money. Ever been to club on a weekend night? PS: I keep using the > for quoting line but obviously that's not how it works here, what do you use to markup for quoting someone and indenting it like you did?
I think the 3 of us are having a similar but disjointed conversation: http://hubski.com/pub?id=67557 To quote use this method | quote | but put them up against the word on either side. Hope that helps. Edit: you should see markup link at top right of comment box
