They can apologize all they want. We won’t be trading there for a while. How long, I don’t know.

The free market is a wonderful thing.

Much like I refuse to purchase any Scott’s product... be it Miracle Gro, grass seed, or even bagged manure, topsoil, or peat... because they fire employees that use tobacco products IN THEIR HOME, I can refuse to do any business this this office supplies store.

They may change policy... too late. You have pissed off your customers.

Losers.

Years back you could drop any manual off at a copy and print place, they would remove the binding, copy, collate and bind.

I knew some that would take best sellers, library books...
That was then.

Now any possibility of a copyright; NO CAN DO!

nothing will get done unless a law suit is initiated...
that is what soros and his scumbag crew have going for them
they litigate to death...

the persecute excuse is preposterous.. but is solid LIBTARD LOGIC ... and liberalism is a mental illness...

That was NOT an apology. That was a poor excuse for an excuse.

I hope she sues their asses off and boycott them as well.

There is no basis for a lawsuit unless you believe that Christian Bakers should be forced to bake cakes for queers.

Do you?

Her flyer has now been disseminated to millions of people and Office Depot has lost millions of customers. Vengeance is Mine saith the Lord.

French is wrong. A 9/12/ at 9am news report over Chicago’s WGN stated the the company apologized and will print up pieces n/c . Fact is there was a similar report over Fox news 9/11/.

...especially since the company apparently offered to let her use the self-service copier.

I took one of our choir member's choral music to our nearby copy and box shop to make my own copies, and the clerk just set up the machine and told me, "Go to it".

Ha! Ha! Hey Home Depot Christian bigot, this flyer is definitely going to get more than 500 eyeballs now you have shown your prejudice.

New Ad Campaign:
Home Depot, we are anti-Christian bigots, so what?

Would the libs accept that apology and forget it? No. They would keep going to Office Depots until they find one that refuses to make the copies and sue them for discrimination. Office Depot can apologize for a one-time thing and get away with it (because they’re libs). It’d be a much different scenario if that one-time thing is actually part of a pattern.

My last trip to Office Depot.

Ditto. However, I think they are now merged with Office Max, so they won't be an alternative.

Look, we can’t have it both ways.
If florists and bakers must provide a service in spite of their beliefs, the printer must do the same.


Right now, we do have it both ways. The difference is that with Office Depot, we say it's a stupid decision on their part to do this. With the bakers/florists, they have been legally owned because of similar actions as Office Depot.

I was seriously going to buy an office chair today. I changed my mind and will stand by that decision.

I don’t know if Staples is any better but they will get my business and I will print this out and pass it out.

You are absolutely correct. If you are in favor a Christian baker's legal rights to refuse service to a same sex couple then you should also be in favor of Office Depot to refuse service to a pro-life group. As conservatives, we affirm the rule of law, no matter which way it cuts.

Will it change your mind if Office Depot apologized for what happened?
