AlbqOwl said:I first heard of the Wendy's policy at one of our local stores a week or so ago and then read of it in other places. Our local Wal-Mart also initiated a similar nation-wide policy before so many customers complained that they rescinded it. Other such phenomena is mentioned in this rather lengthy thread.
No need to apologize, however. I wouldn't have believed it either if it had not been explained to me by those operating under such a presumed politically correct dictate.
I don't think a local store would dictate chainwide policy, I believe that would have to come from headquarters, but that's beside the point.
I haven't really seen anything like that in our area, but I know that doesn't mean it's not happening elsewhere.
People are so concerned with being politically correct these days that they sometimes go overboard with it. I think as a company, stores and such should not advertise for one specific holiday, but when it comes to individual employees, they should be able to use the greeting of their choosing.
