their job for saying to a customer, "Have a blessed day."
• I have met many customer service people that said things that I would want them to be fired from, but this has never been on my list.
• My wife then asked the question I was thinking. "What is wrong with telling someone to have a blessed day?"
• I could not figure it out. It is like at Christmas time some places do not want their employees to say to the customer, "Merry Christmas." The reasoning is, it might offend someone. What about us who are offended when somebody does not say Merry Christmas to us? This matter of being offended can go both ways. There should be an equal offended person law. There is a law for everything else.
• I just would like to meet the person who is offended by somebody saying to them, "Have a blessed day."
• Later that evening I was watching a new crime/detective story on TV and all of a sudden, I heard some words that were offensive. They were saying curse words that I have never heard on TV before. I have always believed that if you have to use curse words, it is because your vocabulary is drastically lacking in intellectual responses to the world around you.
• Here is my dilemma. Why can you say curse words on TV, which everybody knows is scripted, but you cannot say, "Have a blessed day," without getting fired?
• If I was in business I would want my employees to greet my clients with a cheerful, "Have a blessed day" and not some awful curse words.
