Doesn't it sound a bit like there may be a division within BP, where some of the retail location managers are *not* removing the stickers to HQ's liking? It seems that way to me, because ten minutes with a plastic putty knife is all it takes to remove the stickers in question. The employees have to go out there to reload receipt paper rolls and empty trash bins anyway, so the "added workload" argument is a bunch of nonsense.
If the franchisees want to spit in corporate's eye, that's on them - let 'em pay. At the current pump prices, that fine won't sting for very long.
Yep.
If application of these removable stickers constitutes vandalism, then the weather continually "vandalizes" BP's equipment (dust, mud, sludge, poop, etc.) and must also be fined.
