Can someone please explain to me what is apparently so over the top in the MSC's statements? I'm honestly not understanding the comments. They're not threatening shoppers personally; it sounds like more of an alert rather than, "OK, we think
you're going to cheat, so you'd better not."
The explanation about the doorman seems to be so that shoppers understand why the payment is to be made via CC and not cash. How is that unprofessional? Is it the way it's worded? Is "steal" offensive? Would it be more palatable as: "This is done so that the doorman won't fail to report a cash parking fee (they can't do so on a credit card transaction.)"? Lotta words there. Would "pocket" instead of "steal" sound better?
I'm really not trying to be difficult here. I truly don't "get" the problem with these statements. As long as they're not assuming you're going to cheat and hitting you over the head with it in every paragraph and/or making it all in caps so they're yelling at you.... I might understand it if someone can explain
why these are offensive and unprofessional.
ETA: These statements sound more like they're just giving information and advising that they will indeed prosecute shoppers who lie on reports. I, personally, see nothing accusatory toward individual shoppers in them.
(I'm not hesitant to call out MSCs for poor language usage or for treating shoppers badly or like children, so I'm not somebody who thinks MSCs are always right!)
I learn something new every day, but not everyday!
I've learned to never trust spell-check or my phone's auto-fill feature.
