The Nazis Tell me I Must Not Post This

A message appeared in the break room at work the other day. No blogging or using Facebook or any other kind of social media mentioning anything at all negative about Tractor Supply Company. How interesting.

Just for the Corporate Nazis in Power:
Most of these sound just about right

Some of the complaints are completely grounded in folly...such as the 10% button on the register "doesn't work" or that anyone from TSC would ever approve a school selling a discount card with the TSC logo on it (they are very very wildly protective of the corporate logo as if it is some Holy Baby Jesus or something).  There is no 10% button on the register. It's a computer keyboard and the register consists of an IBM mainframe with monitors.  Also, TSC is very, very clear on the fact that employees are NOT to discount items unless they have clear instructions from a manager.  There is no such thing as senior discounts, military discounts or discounts of any kind other than coupons which are sent directly from the corporate office in TN or manufacturer's coupons. Period. Other than employee discounts, and even the employees get shit for it. Spend more than $50?  A manager has to ring up the order to make sure you are not hiding/stealing any items other than the ones for which you have paid. Yep.

So read with a grain of salt.

And some more

Sorry TSC, you do NOT have the right to implement a gag order against bad press from ME.  I am not saying anything that is not the truth.  Want to change the truth? Great! Become a progressive, caring company.  The ball is really in your court here.

We often work shifts with only two people. Truth. I complained about this to my Asst Manager. I hope she can convince the Manager that this is unacceptable considering those two people bore the brunt of the busiest hour of the day with over $1000 in sales, meaning customer service, loading product, handling cash and phone calls. This, is nearly impossible.  I think corporate would benefit hearing it and that we shouldn't "beef up" staff whenever the District Manager is around. Guess what, we do! It's all complete and total lies and a fascade that the store is always running just this way. Nope...the store never is run that way.

Last time I checked, I still live in America where free speech is supposed to be king.  If I have to piss off some Corporate Nazis because they reserve the right to tell me what I can and cannot say, then I hope they are livid. Fuck you.

I have no problem taking your money, but you can't make me keep my mouth shut.
