The WS rumor mill

Totally unsubstantiated, but interesting:
Took me a bit to decide on whether or not to post !

Florists call for order intake shutdown on February 13th.
In response to current trends initiated by several well know floral order takers a call is out for all associated florists to shut down their computers at 11:AM EDT on 02-13-08."

Message received from a Boston location


While this makes me curious, I question the origin, and the fallout from such an endeavor. Maybe I'm just tired and overlooking something. Not certain !

Gotta go check the trailers and heaters.

Been here way too long today.

If not, Luck to all:headbang:

Just got called regarding my typo and the caller was quite upset.
Guess he doesn't know what 22 hour days are like.
Made the correction, even though I got it right at the second mention.

Seems that many are going to ride it out that have called in to us, whether they heard about the boycott or not.
Making a few bucks on this holiday just ain't gonna cut it and we both know it and....
it's just gonna solidify their position.

Have a great holiday Mike.

P.S.
On good authority Pro Flowers is sending poo poo and reissuing after complaints are lodged, with a credit, but the reissue is just as bad as the first .

I heard PF had to shut down one of their packaging depots...they hired day laborers....I hear it wasn't pretty...

Several shops bought orders yesterday and today.
None reported good quality.
39.99 specials
PF credited one and said they'd do what the florists won't, issue a credit and resend the order.
Second order came in just as bad !

Anyone that reads this that did the test should video the order/orders and send them in ASAP

Ho Hum

Back to work !


Luck and prosperity to all.
