Here’s an idea. Why don’t we all take our business to Office Max or our local stationary retailer until Staples stops complaining about “lactation chambers” and provides its nursing employees with reasonable break time to nurse their babies in a space that is not a bathroom and is shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public. I don’t even know what the co-founder is complaining about. How many Staples employees bring their kids to work? It’s not like they provide daycare. So, maybe we should shop elsewhere just because Tom Stemberg is an a-hole. Or, maybe we should shop elsewhere because Mitt Romney helped get Staples started as a franchise and we don’t like to support ventures launched by people who strap their dogs to the roofs of their cars and go out on the interstate for 12-hour drives.
Tom Stemberg, co-founder of mega-office supply chain Staples is questioning an Obamacare provision that discourages job creation by dictating employers funnel their capital into lactation chambers.
“Do you want [farming retailer] Tractor Supply to open stores or would you rather they take their capital and do what Obamacare and its 2,700 pages dictates – which is to open a lactation chamber at every single store that they have?” he asked.
“I’m big on breastfeeding; my wife breastfed,” Stenberg added. “I’m all for that. I don’t think every retail store in America should have to go to lactation chambers, which is what Obamacare foresees.
Yeah, I see no reason to buy my printer paper and cartridges at Staples. I won’t be printing my photos there, either. Screw them.
