IMO Radio Guy’s fiancée did the appropriate thing by not discussing company policy and not discussing her opinion with a customer. As I read it, the complaint was that the lady said nothing instead of arguing with a customer. Do you think the company wants employees arguing with customers? I don’t.

Getting back to your first post Wordy, I couldn’t remember this morning where I had seen this little rant that fits here so well. I found it and here you go….

PS I don't do Wal*Mart

May 1 Is Conservative Shopping Day!

by Mac Johnson
Posted Apr 14, 2006

As you no doubt know, illegal aliens and their handlers plan to hold their next Senate intimidation rallies on May 1, better known as the Marxist holiday of “May Day.” The May Day campaign will consist of yet more anti-law-enforcement marches and a nationwide “boycott” of shopping. The aim of the boycott is to demonstrate the purchasing power of the 11 million immigration criminals demanding amnesty. The boycott will also include a general strike by immigration criminals, who are being encouraged to skip work that day. Now it appears that illegal aliens are here to just skip the jobs that no American is willing to skip.

If the boycott and strike are successful, this means that May 1 will be A DAY WITHOUT ILLEGAL ALIENS! Lines will be shorter. Clerks will all speak English. Businesses that have been honest enough to hire legal residents will be poised to finally enjoy a competitive advantage! It will be morning again in America. Every actual American should make a point to get out and support those businesses and counteract the criminal boycott movement.

Spend like a congressman! Spend like George W. Bush! Heck, spend like Teddy Kennedy on a junket to a distillers’ convention. Spend in freedom and order in a mall or Wal-Mart near you. I hereby declare May 1 to be a national holiday -- Conservative Shopping Day.

Show the doubters that a day without illegal aliens is not a crisis, it’s just a good start. And spread the word. Forward this notice or send out your own. Let it be shouted, in clear unaccented English, from every mountaintop and blog: SPEND, GRINGOS, SPEND!

Lastly, be sure to make note of which businesses can still function on a day without illegal aliens, so that you can patronize them everyday for a long time. Let’s turn the day without illegal aliens into an everyday thing.

TO THE WAL-MART, COMRADES!

Oh course you should never argue with a customer but if asked you should never be afraid to give it. I realize the customer is always right, in the retail business anyway, but its just another part of the PC world we live in.

When you are being paid by a company - you are paid to represent the company and it's policies.

If your fiancee's boss does any repremand on paper OR if the incident pops it's ugly head up at review time........ I would be ready.

She needs to dust off the disiplinary action policy, the discrimination policy, and any other HR including the "work enviorment" policy and be ready. I probably would refresh my boss on the policy as well to enlighten him as to why I responded like I did. .......... Just in keeping with the company policy.

If she works for a major chain....... the policy is there. If she works for a mom and pop that is just real popular in DC..... she might be in big trouble but can rely on Federal guidelines as set out by the Employment commission.

Discrimination is still discrimination if you are harrassed or punished for not being a part to a very racial motivated conversation. She can turn the tables if she wants but will take some work on her part. Kinda pisses ya off that ya have to defend NOT being defensive.................

Just one more case where people are so concerned about being PC that they turn a blind eye to right and wrong. They want the mexican business so bad that they will take abuse and all the crap that is thrown their way, only to now have the same assses they've been kissin turn around and shit on them. As I see it the very companies that are bein craped on deserve it for all the ass kissin they've been doin while all the time ignoring the very people who have made it possible for them to thrive in their business. It's like they feel our patronage is a given so we need no special treatment because we will always be there. That's why any business that closes on May 1 to support the mexicans will no longer get any of this white boys money.

First of the month....

I say we ought to return the favor in a likewise fashion. Refuse to offer emergency room service to illegals on May 1st. Hell, lets go a step further, no welfare checks or food stamps for them either. How about no free lunches for the day they return to school. Let's not make it a one sided deal, If they are really serious about boycotting the American system, why not go ALL THE WAY?

Yeah, that'll happen!

How about for the ones who do go to school that day we give them English speaking teachers only. We don't want to give them the gringo favor of a teacher who speaks their language.And we can let the parents take them to school instead of letting them ride the gringo bus driven by a gringo.

And no "low riders" allowed, no blaring music, no blocking the aisles at Walmart, No fat Chicas in size 2 clothes with their guts hanging out, no kids climbing all over everything. No open latina bars, No taco wagons, No Budweiser, No trashing of neighborhoods, No more mexican car lots, No more mexican nite clubs, No mexican parties allowed in the City Park, Require drivers licenses, require automobile insurance, No money orders to Mexico, No cell phones, No soccer fields, No slaughtering chickens and hogs in front yards, and the list could go on and on, but I am getting "typers cramp"-
