Email sent 1 hour ago to one of the CEO of FTD.....Tom MOELLER.

Obviously your partners are not listening.
Beside, Placerville is 80 miles round trip for us, WE NEVER GO THERE.
Do you think I should suspend FTD? or should I drop FTD once for all ?
You got to rein these people in, they are on their way to take you and FTD down and Teleflora too.
For your Info: There is a movement among florists who want to get rid of all Wire Services ................. watch out!!
We have talked enough and to enough people.....like it is said " Talk is cheap" now it's time for you to do the "Walk".
If you cant take care of your business, I can by shutting you down.
I am not a patient man and have no time for that crap.
Like I told you before we handle business here quickly and efficiently, that is why we are STILL in business.
I expect you to do the same.
PS: I would be you, to save my job and others I would show this Email to the President of FTD in order for you Guys to make a drastic decision to sever ties with these Order gatherers.
FTD should keep its good name unlike 800Flowers.
It's up to you Tom, as an executive you have the job to take care of your employer (FTD) and your employees (the florists).
Some of us florists who have integrity will always be in business, I am not sure about you Guys.
Have a Hell of a day.
Henry Fiser!! :jester

PS: to this Email was an attachement of an order from "Just Flowers" for us to fill to a recipient who lives 80 miles away (round trip) which we rejected of course.

IF WE, FLORISTS WANT TO GET RID OF THESE "ORDER GATHERERS" WE SHOULD REFUSE TO WORK WITH THEM AND REJECT ALL ORDERS FROM THEM.
PURE AND SIMPLE
Fairness and Respect will bring us Love and Trust

Dude......just fecking quit already, don't hold your breathe for a reply, get the feck out now!!! Cmon Hollywood??!!!

Seriously ...

OGs => Orders in the system => Happy filling florists => Membership revenue

Then, they can sell tech, etc, to the filling florists by promising more of those OG orders

BTW - since when did florists become employees of the WS??

Did you know that you pay a $2.25 fee on the Mercury system for rejecting the order? I checked with FTD last week, and this was what I was told. Seems like FTD is profiting even when we reject orders! Better to call Just Flowers and tell them to send you a CAN message. (I did that last week for two orders from them, and they obliged.)

I did not mean to offend anybody by using the word "employee". RELAX!!
We are all bosses in our own businesses.
Maybe "partners" would have been better to someone too sensitive, but I wanted to make it simple.
Obviously I missed.
In my world I call "a spade a spade" NO OFFENSE AGAIN TO ANYONE. (American expression)

Henry, "the employee" of my wife "The Boss".

PS: In my life experience I noticed that my "employees" often made more money than me, with none of my problems.
So not a big deal, employee, boss, as long as I make a living and is happy , one can call me anything they want, even Asshole, as long as they call me.
We are ALL employees of somebody, I think, maybe I am wrong again.
So again big deal........don't care.......I am Happy and Free.

Oh my gosh, I forgot about that. I could not believe how much money I started saving just in paper and ink, I figured something like $500/yr. Insane!

ps ~ You're welcome.
