BEST BUY employees not allow to say "MERRY CHRISTMAS"

lighthouse19something

Employees of Best Buys have been warned they'll be fired if they say "Merry Christmas' to customers according to Bill O'Reily,but the chain denies this. Anyone have more info?

I have heard many retailors telling their employees the same thing , in stead many are to say" Happy Holidays" . Not sure what the difference is but it seemd the direct wording of "Merry Christmas" is a bad thing

I think "happy holidays" is encouraged in most retail outlets and this isn't anything new. It's to include the people who celebrate Chanukah and Kwanza.

I really enjoyed shopping in Minnesota this week. I received kind "Merry Christmas" greetings at nearly every store. I thanked them for wishing me such, as I dont hear it much back home.
