Remove the company name before you trade in the truck

One of the largest survey and engineering firms in the area had an employee who donated his/her old shirts with the company name on them to somewhere like the salvation army or what not. Well, weeks later on the six o'clock news there was footage of a man being dragged from his home in a drug raid with this companies name emblazened across his chest. It was quite the joke at all the competing firms.

I've held on to my old customized shirts for that very reason. I know there are homeless people who could use them, but...

I'm wondering who is going to be brave enough to give these guys a bad review on Angie's List.

I was thinking of the rigs utility for accounts receivable 😉

Interesting that whomever has credit for the picture blurred out the P.O.S's face that is pulling the trigger but left the company name on there for the world to see.

I am aware of a situation where a local county traded in an old motor grader on a new one without removing the county logos, etc. A smalltime contractor ended up with it. This has resulted in numerous calls from concerned citizens wanting to know why a county motor grader is (somewhere odd) and why would the county be doing anything in that neighborhood. About half of the calls come from county people who have seen it in a different county.

Send them to Africa. That's what they do with the shirts of the losers of championship games.
