I was just looking that up — you beat me to it! Thanks.

Was going to say that 1) apparently that was never true and 2) Colgate bought the company.

According to this https://tomsofmaine.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/55/session/L3RpbWUvMTQxMjg5NDc2My9zaWQvTzlVYmh0NG0%3D
from their website, that’s an unfounded rumor…

It’s a tough road to hoe (ho? whoe’) trying to decide when people cross that hair-fine line between religious freedom and religious oppression. I mean, burning witches, easy call (one would think). Tom’s toothpaste tithing 10% of their profits to support Christian anti-abortion legislation? To ME that’s an easy call (not to buy their toothpaste) but to others that would be the hair-fine line situ.
Personally I would have taken the 15% discount, and just told the woman I was praying for rain, or as you say, praying for people to put their devilish cell phone devices away while dining.

Mary Haglund might want to pretend she’s not trying to reward religious people, but she’s fooling herself. An “attitude of gratitude” that she could reward would be, I dunno, saying thank you to the server, not making a show of meditation or prayer, and I say this as a religious, church-going, spiritual person. Not only is the show of prayer contrary to principles the woman should have heard of before (hint: it’s in Matthew), it’s bizarre to expect high-fives for being a BUSINESS who pays attention to a RELIGIOUS thing (arguably, meditation isn’t religious, but …)

While the fauxpology indeed sounds very put-upon, it seems the woman is just not in the know about what our Constitution promises us, and what we can reasonably force upon others (nothing) and what we should expect of each other (respect). I hope this educates her.

I’d love a restaurant that offered discounts to people who didn’t pollute the air by conversing on cell phones. THAT at least makes sense.
