Now that's a pretty TALL order to say you can't do something on "your own time"! Gin, Did you ever "break" that rule?? I guess it's like the health care company in the Midwest telling their associates they couldn't smoke in their free time. Seems to me it would be very hard to "police" the issue. |

As you sign their policy when you are hired into management, you really feel that it's not optional. Hardest thing for me was NOT eating at Taco Bell (owned by PepsiCo) and NOT drinking Dr. Pepper. HOWEVER, we could go to Montgomery, Opelika or Scottsboro to attend the quarterly Area meetings & drink Dr. Pepper because Coke had the distribution in their area but Tuscaloosa & Dothan does not. I won't say I NEVER "broke their rule" but if I did (I literally crave diet Dr. Pepper), I was looking over my shoulder first.... We had a guy in maintenance get into serious trouble for being seen in a Coke van & in a Coke uniform in the drive-thru at KFC. One of the Sales Supervisors even took his pic with a digital camera & took it back to the Sales Center to report him. I'm telling you, the soft drink industry is VERY cut-throat. I had to work at our tent on the Quad at any home UA football games. We were instructed to offer anyone walking by drinking a competitors product one of ours & throw their's away.
