Lost a print job today...
« on: October 29, 2012, 09:00:41 PM »
Because I won't print the word f!ck on a shirt because it well reflect negatively on my and my Christian based business. She really got offended that I brought religion into it and she thought I was insinuating that I thought she was a bad person which is not the case. I just don't print bad language or nudity. I mean really what do people want from a Christian based business. I know she has been to my site and seen my scripture verses, really! And to boot it's a copy right issue, she also wants them at $1.50 a shirt printed, and by Saturday... Stupid!!!

you didn't loose that job, you chose not to do it. . .move on, never let the customer dictate YOUR price. I always say, who the fk is you to tell me waht to charge? do you know my bills? nope, then shut it.

You should've told her to "get the f!ck out of my shop" when she got pissed . . .   :P

Like Homer said, you chose not to do it.

  As I've said before in other threads, up here in Jacksonville there is a city ordinance which
makes public display of obscenity illegal. I'm sure there are other places with similar laws.
Ask her if she would take the chance of being sued by someone who wore one of the questionable
shirts and got a hefty ticket. She also might be guilty of distribution of obscene material. Hell, she
could sue YOU! Let someone else take that chance- some fly-by-night internet company will be
ignorant enough to print it.

We've been on here many times over talking about (What would you do) and it's probably more that would do it then not. I for sure would not. I've turned down a few jobs each year due to not meeting my own criteria. I lost one customer completely. He figured it was not work his time to try and remember if I would do this or that so he just uses someone else. I'm ok with that, However, I would print a scantily clad vixen on a motorcycle. Not nekit but seductively well done.


Hold your ground and do what you think it right. Then also keep in mind, not to be too "religious" about things. There is honoring Gods word and then there is "religious acts" coming from "people"  that do not necessarily align with Gods word.  My definition of honoring Gods word falls inline with not printing that word on shirts.

Nice! The problem with the world is people moved from following their moral compass. Stick to what you believe and do what you feel is correct.

I always find it amusing that our faith based line is called OSDS..............
Our Shirts Don't Suck. Guess the meaning of "Suck" has been watered down over the years.

There are some printers out there that will print anything for a buck, it use to be one on the old boards and that dude could piss folks off, but you have to stick with your guns.

WOW!  I have wore many of shirts with less than respectable prints and meanings, but I never thought I was white trash.   Just because it does not suit you  to wear it that those who do are any less of a person than yourself.
