K, my manager did not say that, but nice try.

I'm not trying to turn this into a religious debate, but any any one who acts all b****y and claims it's for their church, is not a church I would want to associate with. This lady is obviously not following Christian principles (assuming she's from a Christian organization)

Oh I agree, especially if is she is representing a church. You just don't expect that from someone representing a church.

But the stories I could tell you about church groups staying at the hotel! To be fair, most church groups are very good, but I guess I remember the irony of a cussing preacher and disorderly members.

My church does most of our copying in-house. Occasionally we have large jobs or color jobs that we do send out. If we do and want a discount we will provide proof of our 501c3 status and a written request for a discount in advance. Usually they will give us written proof back that we did or did not get a discount and how much.

At work I have several SC's who at one time got a discount for their NFP and assure that their personal purchases will get the same discount. No, we will not discount 3 bagels. Nice try.

Sooo glad I finished my hot chocolate before I got to this post.

We're union and not a church. However, both boss man and myself keep a copy of the 501(c)3 with us at all times. One never knows...

Goes with the boss man's saying, poor planning on your part doesn't create an emergency on mine. I love my job.

So she pays and storms out, but not before informing me, "I will NEVER come back here again. This is for a church program and the church is paying for this, this is money that would otherwise go to feeding homeless children. You are stealing food out of the mouths of homeless children!"

If the food was that important... why is she even thinking of wasting it on paper anyway?

Sounds like she needs to get her s**t straight if the church funds are that tight... Like verifying discount prices BEFORE getting services perhaps?

And then the "implied suffering" card? "These kids will suffer because of you!"... No. If they suffer it will be because SHE couldn't handle finances properly.

Not a church that teaches tolerance obviously.

Not a church that teaches tolerance obviously.

Most churches do teach tolerance, just not the indiscriminate equal footing granted to all viewpoints and lifestyle choices that is masqueraded as "tolerance" these days.

Ironically (or not ) the tone of this comment itself doesn't exactly smack of the very virtue it attempts to promote.

Back on topic -- Nice pwnage of the old biddy though

My reply would have been, "Then why are you here spending the money in the first place?"

Events need promotion.

[MTNLaurelPoacher]

Maybe she could buy a box of pens and a ream of copy paper and put all those starving homeless children to work hand copying her papers.

10 cents per copy is too much....

She doesn't get out much, does she?

Evil. EEEEEVIIIIIL!!!!
