Sent: Mar 04 2005 Subject: Scotts Lawn Service I just submitted a CPZ notification form for Scotts Lawn Service. [I was informed] this is a corporate policy and the sign are at all Ohio stores, not just the one in West Chester. When I went in, I had already written a personal check for $500.88 to them to treat my lawn this year. After seeing the sign I asked to see the manager and told him of my objections to his sign. He gave me a half-baked canned answer about protecting the employees and customers. I then tore up the check in front of him and handed it back to him in pieces and told him I don't do business with places who disrespect my right to protect myself. I also gave him a No Guns/No Dollars business card. I hope the incident makes it way back to Marysville corporate headquarters in their next manager's meeting. I am going to fill out a feedback form on Scotts’ web site. Bob R. Related Story: Study: "No-guns" signs cause negative reactions, and not just among CHL-holders |
