- October 1st, 2012, 3:35 pm#415467We've used Kathy for our franchise patches before, and we were very pleased with them. However, we might have just moved any future business away from her.
We had a couple of people buy our patches from her, yet were not affiliated with our franchise. They wear them out in public, and thanks to a couple of "bad egg" ex-members, we asked Kathy to not sell them to the public a few months ago. We didn't want anyone "posing" as an ALGB member and potentially causing a blemish on our reputation with charitable groups within our state.
She agreed to make them private. However, I just found out another person here on GBFans asked her to make them public again, even though he is not part of our group, and none of us know him. She did exactly that, and now people we don't know are wearing our patch again.
I asked her about it last night, and she has since removed our patch from public sale again. However, our trust was violated by making our patch public again. I don't know if I can directly blame her since she didn't realize this buyer was not one of us, or if I can blame the buyer for making her think he was one of us.
Either way, we're not happy with the situation.
