A bank teller in Kentucky claims she was fired from her job for telling customers, "Have a blessed day."
Polly Neace wished customers at U.S. Bank in Walton, Kentucky, well with those words of blessing for more than two years.
She said she never had anyone complain about the saying, which she said she was inspired to adopt when someone said the phrase to her in 2009.
"I mean, in my opinion, I don't think there's any better way to have a blessed day," she explained in an interview with Fox News.
But Neace said she was told she could no longer say the phrase anymore and was later fired after working at the bank for 24 years.
Neace filed a lawsuit against her former employers saying she was discriminated against because of her religious beliefs.
But U.S. Bank disputes that claim.
The bank said that several customers had complained about Neace referencing the religious phrase.
It also claims that Neace asked a customer about taking the Lord's name in vain and proceeded to talk to that customer about salvation.
But Neace said that was an unrelated incident and that the customer didn't complain.
In a statement U.S. Bank said, "We hold our employees to high ethical standards when interacting with customers and co-workers...we believe that this lawsuit is without merit and the fact presented in future legal proceedings will justify our actions."
CBN News reached out to U.S. Bank for comment but our call was not returned at the time this article was published.
Morons. Don’t tell the wihiners, complainers and professionally outraged that “good-bye” means God be with you. They’ll demand that “good-bye” be banned.
I plan on moving soon.
Strike ANOTHER bank from my list of where to look for a new bank.
Yeah I don't take no lip with this cannon on my hip
Let me tell you boy it ain't no toy
I wear a hat just like a mounty I'm the sheriff of Boone County
Be careful boy cause you're in a heap of a trouble boy
That was one of his hit songs LOL
Yep, it won’t be long now before the Old Man makes his move.
Kind of reminds me of a dyke and or left-wing female looney bird getting mad at you if you refer to them as ma’am. Or the same person glaring at you if you dare open a door for them. This is one more crazy ass world we live in. And yes, these anti-God weirdos have won the culture war. Traditional, normal, decent, God-fearing Americans are now members of the counter-revolution. Sad, but that’s the truth.
When our high schools and colleges sold out to the America-hating, God-hating leftists 40 years ago the writing was on the wall.
Oh brother.....your wrong. Read the posts....super majority are on my side. I am sick and tired of your lies and distortions every single post your blather on. It is despicable and uncalled for. Nobody forced you to come on my site. Don’t reply to me again because I can’t stand your vicious lies and distortions. If you do than you are a complete stalker.
This is not your site.
I wonder if you say “God bless you.” when someone sneezes you could get fired?
.
I new you were a creepy stalker. You just can’t help yourself.....well you didn’t disappoint. I was expecting you to bother me once again.....I guess there is nothing I can do to get you to ignore me so I will just continue to suffer. God doesn’t give me anything I can’t handle. He is testing me.....
Geez man. Get a grip. I never threatened or cursed you. I just think you lean to the left of most of us on some issues.
Ok. Have a good one. Sorry for going off the rail.
Not a problem. We can agree to disagree on some things and just move on. We have both been here for a long time and hopefully FR will still be a good place for both of us.
I agree. Sometimes I go overboard mainly because I get so depressed about the condition of the United States. I am so worried that the public is so liberal now that we may never get out of this mess.....I so pray I am wrong.
Living in Maryland will do that to you. lol
My dad lived in Gaithersburg for 10-15 years.
