Corporations Dancing Around ‘THE’ Question
The beginning of the end of my appliance warranty repair contracts happened yesterday.
A major (and I mean one of the top 3 in the world,) appliance manufacturer asked me the following question:
Will you be able to accomodate Service requests to locations that access is restricted to Fully Vaccinated Individuals?
Direct email
Yes … they spelled accommodate wrong …
But more than that, the question was sneaky/tricky. This manufacturer is dancing around the main question which is: ‘are you vaxxed?’ Instead of asking that basic question which they know many of us will respond with, ‘go pound sand, none of your business’ … instead they ask, ‘Are you ‘able to accomodate.’ In essence the answer is the same:
- I am not able to ‘accomodate’ a request for vax proof
- Nor am I willing to ‘accomodate’ anybody demanding information about my health or personal medical procedures
This appliance manufacturer is testing the waters. Can they get away with demanding vax passport requirements from their service network … or will this demand decimate their warranty service. This is a test. How will this demand effect the bottom line? (Corps always think bottom line first and virtue signal second. Hopefully enough of my fellow PureBloods respond the same to hold them off and send the message.)
Out of respect for my local community, I will not give them a Yes or No.
My response is, ‘I am not willing to ‘accomodate’ these requests.’ My meaning being: I am not willing to participate in the division of my community, Provence and country, nor am I willing to reveal my personal health issues to a mindless corporation.
My business will be changing. Some modified idiot will eventually step into the void created by my unwillingness to participate in this social experiment. Will I survive? Sure. There are still a lot of people (both vaxxed and unvaxxed) who value a 30 yr appliance repairman. I will be fine.
Good luck to the Modified guy who tries to fill my shoes.
