There were three men that came from division HQ in Northern New Jersey today. Now mind you we are in the middle of PA... you can't get much more hick then us. My boss has a hunting camo fleece on, I'm wearing my PAFOA hoodie and my hunting camo hat. Another co-worker had a pickup truck with hunting stickers all over it... you get the point. We are in the sticks, and we work in a warehouse.
A spotless black Mercedes with NJ plates pulls up between two dirty pickup trucks in the parking lot and three guys get out. All of whom I've never met. I knew they were coming and was told just to show them how I do things on the receiving end of the warehouse process. I guess they were doing a quality assurance audit to make sure we were doing things by the book.
After the pleasantries one guy sits down with me. He was all purdied up in slacks and a tie. I turn down my radio and we talk a bit. I guess he see's my PAFOA hoodie logo and asks me if I own a gun. :scruntiny:
I said yes, not trying to be a smart alec, but not obviously lying. He then said "With you"?
I said 'no' just to deflate him as I knew where he was going with this. Then he went on a rant about corporate firearms policy just to make sure I knew that guns were dangerous and were not needed in the workplace :twak: I just smiled, nodded and agreed. The whole time my 1911 was in my laptop bag just next to my desk :smile:
You could tell he was from Jersey. Have any of you had similar encounters with your company? Do you just go with the flow smile and nod or do you set them strait?
