What would you have them do??

When I worked retail in high school and college, my company had "secret shoppers". They were HQ employees that visited the stores posing as regular customers which enabled them to make sure proper procedures were being followed. At least one person from our store was fired due to a secret shopper observing inappropiate behavior.

Borders as a corporation probably doesn't have a liberal bent, but let's face it, people who work in bookstores (and coffee shops) do overwhelmingly lean liberal.

If Border's is serious about projecting a non-political image, then they should employ the secret shopper technique to make sure that their employees are actually spending their time at work being employees rather than activists.

Same argument used by the left to claim the media is by nature conservative. Corporations and their heads can be liberal.
