>Not only is it not illegal/immoral to post a picture of a receipt online

Didn't say it was or wasn't legal or moral, just said it was unprofessional.

>being a company that does support douches is a bad thing.

Seems to be working fine for Tap-Out, Hurley, and Monster energy drinks. I hope you realize that no matter how you or I feel about "douches", douches are still a market and still spend their money same as anyone else. You don't want to alienate a demographic over one employee. In this case the fact that the person was a pastor, regardless of being a douche or not, probably would have caused quite a stir in the media and religious communities had Applebees took the side of the employee. It's just business. I would have done the same thing to avoid any heat against my bottom line as well. Personal quests for making points and standing up for things isn't always a bet you want to hedge with your company brand name.

Again, I don't like douches either, but most businesses still don't mind taking their money. Ever been to club on a weekend night?

PS: I keep using the > for quoting line but obviously that's not how it works here, what do you use to markup for quoting someone and indenting it like you did?
