Ivanka Trump just wanted a new pair of earrings, but it appears that she may have inadvertently contributed to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

Why? It was their money after all, not sure why any business would want to take political sides and potentially lose customers though, if that is the "nonsense" you mean.

Hillary is hard to beat as a fund raiser and thanks her for the donation.

Seems very juvenile and Kardashian like.

The business owners can spend their profits anyway they like. Keep politics out of it when it is directed at a customer.
When I was in HS I worked at the Clover Farm store in Star City. The Sellaro's told me three things when they hired me...1. The customer is always right. 2. Don't talk about religion. 3. Don't talk about politics.

I absolutely agree with that stance in business. It was a dumb move by the owners of the store, in my opinion, to not only make sure that they don't get Trump business in the future, but to alienate a section of their overall customer base. It strikes me as short-sighted at best, juvenile at worst. They could have quietly done exactly what they intended without feeling the need to broadcast it to Ivanka.

We have a chain of auto shops out here called Christian Brothers. They play Christian music in the office, ask you to have a blessed day when they are getting off the phone, all in on the Christian part. That's fine by me. What's not fine by me is when they try to gouge me on prices for work they say is needed - work that isn't necessary to boot - then sign off with have a blessed day. If they do good work at a reasonable price, I'm fine with the religious aspect. When they try to bend me over the hood of the car, I'm taking my business elsewhere. I would do the same if they didn't espouse their religion in every other breath, but their actions show that their religious show is just a marketing ploy.

While I consider myself a Christian......I avoid a business when I see a sign that reads "Christian Owned". It is strictly a marketing ploy.

Tell me you supported the bakery owners who elected not to make a cake for some people?

My boss in my first grown up job told me that if you were dealing with a guy who always said, "I'm a good Christian, you can trust me" you should grab your wallet with both hands and run.

He should have known, he had real estate business on the side who's signs featured the three crosses on Calvary.

I've got a daughter that was all fired up over Chik-Fil-A controversy a few years ago. I told her "It's a family owned business, they can do what they want. No one is forcing you to eat there." I got called a few names for that one, but she told me a few weeks later she got my point. She had just turned 19 and was nearly at the end of her first year of college when she was railing against the land of waffle fries.

I'm sure you all remember the know it all stage everyone goes through then. If I ran into my 19 year old self walking down the street, I'd punch him in the face.

There a more and more groups I'm leary of working for these days. But religious groups have always been the trickiest of the bunch. Sometimes they're great to work for. Pay on time, don't complain, appreciative. Other times they're looking for everything for nothing.

 

[MikeRafone]

I know.

In radio we have pay for play preachers that book time on Sunday mornings. You don't have to sweat those guys paying, they're some the more reliable clients I've ever had the pleasure to deal with. With other religious groups they'll want you to advertise a fundraiser as a "donation". If we've got a block of time and they've proven to be legit in the past they'll get it. It's not going to be prime hours, but you'll get a spot or two in off hours. It's good community relations. A small percentage of the hinky ones actually make veiled threats about getting their followers to boycott your advertisers when they get turned down.

A donation of airtime depends on the cause. You're not getting a free ad if it's a series of pancake breakfasts to raise money for Rev. Fred to get a new Caddy. If it's to raise money and other needed resources in regards to disaster, and you check out ,we'll be glad to give you some airtime. We'll even set you up with an on air interview with plugs throughout in a solid time slot if it's truly worthy.

I think so many churches get so used to operating on donations, they come to expect them as matter of course. They don't realize how it comes across.
