In Asheville, one of my favorite places to get work done is the FedEx shop in Biltmore Village. They offer great printing and shipping services. As long as FedEx supports the NRA I can no longer do business with this store or the other one on Patton Ave.
On Friday I called the Biltmore store and in a kind voice told the manager I would no longer be doing business with him until FedEx removes its association with the NRA. I told him I was sorry to have to do this because it will have a negative impact on my business but that I had no moral choice.
I also told him that if FedEx was the only shipping method for an online product I was trying to purchase, I would find another vendor.
I assured him it was nothing personal against the local establishment or its workers but that I had to make a stand and that I was encouraging many others to do the same.
And that is why I’m writing to you today.
If you are so inclined, please give local FedEx’s a call.
And BE NICE.
Please note that the following list is far from complete and some don’t have phone numbers listed but if you are from that area I hope you can look them up and help with this idea. The ones that are listed as FedEx Ship and Print Centers are the actual corporate based stores but there are many others located in drug stores and private mail and print services. They may not have much leverage talking up to the powers that be, but if they are threatened with losing local business, you never know what might happen. And one thing for sure, it will start a conversation in that store and that’s a beginning.
Thanks for reading and considering this small opportunity to somehow make a difference .
