Why i won't be shopping at Bodycare again.
Poppy Outrage - ITV Granada Reports Was so annoyed when i heard it on the news, especially on a day when 5 soldiers was killed and a number wounded. |
Poppy Ban
just been on BBC Northwest that "Bodycare" at Wigan have banned staff from wearing Poppies, this i think is disgraceful.:mad: Management refused to comment to the Beeb, the lady who had worked fer 8 yrs fer em, was told if she returned to work tomorrow wearing it she will face disciplinary action, Paris n I have always used this shop, it will sunshine in hell before we ever use it again, i would hope many people in britain feel the same n it follows "Woolies" into Oblivion.:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Re: Poppy Ban
What you need to do is not just stay away, you need to make the management aware that you will not shop there again.
Thats the only way they are going to know about it. |
Re: Poppy Ban
I just read that the store bans the wearing of "charity emblems" ... since when was a poppy a "charity emblem"?

Re: Poppy Ban
It seems they have had a change of heart. A statement was read out on behalf of the company on Granada Reports stating that, after consideration, they believe that the poppy is an exception, and staff will be allowed to wear them.
I should think so too!! |

Re: Poppy Ban
The biggest problem with this sort of stuff is the fact that when companies or Councils introduce these asinine rules which are later overturned no one is held responsible , usually its an spokesperson (spin-control) who responds , my thinking is the clown (Business-person, Councillor, Council employee ) who made the original decision should be named and shamed , and have their photos published in the local media so the folks know what type of person their neighbour is . :eek: :eek:

Re: Poppy Ban
Well, they have backed down Cashy, and understand your feelings, however, if everyone ostracised this shop, then where does it leave the shop assistants who showed defiance in the first place ? Out of a job ?
