What facts have you provided? You have spoken a few words about what you think a few franchises might be doing, but you offered no tangible evidence to support your position. When you can provide something in writing from one of more of those franchises stating that is why they put up those signs, then you will have something factual to substantiate your claim.
Think about what you are suggesting. Why would I "out" trusted colleagues who are bound by business obligations and are not comfortable saying "no" due to the fact that they may lose their livelihood, but also have a strong feeling about our rights?

Clearly you're a "prove it with indisputable evidence or it isn't true" forum member....so this one may be a bit disappointing for you.

Thanks for the info - I thought such might be the case. It's a compromise I can live with.

Some of us though seem too rigid to process this information with a "you must do what I demand attitude or I'll hold my breath until I turn blue"...
Exactly. Some may not have the business background to understand the franchisee/franchiser relationship, but often, the franchisee has to follow suit with corporate mandates. In these cases where there are philosophical or political differences, some will try to find ways around it. Not saying its wrong or right, but it is the case....whether or not an Internet forum member says there are no facts to back it up.

If this is the case, I give them credit.
There are no facts to back up this statement. This is just more justification to spend money in an establishment that really doesn't want your gun or your business.
Really? You couldn't be more wrong.

I'm in the restaurant/retail business and I know of three different restaurant franchises who do exactly this. Corporate says put up a sign, but doesn't specify which one.
