No, we don't talk much about things at work anymore. Maybe we've kept our job for this long because of it. In this case, we're not complaining about work - just noting something silly that occured.
In case you didn't know, Germans don't have a very good sense of humor. Ever see a funny German comic? I didn't think so. They are very serious, and one thing they take seriously is Mercedes-Benz. The logo you see above is called The Starmark. The three points stand for MB's superiority on Land, Sea and Air. But, it goes all beyond that, as I found out last week.....
We had these nice floormats in the service entrance, and it had the Starmark on it. We'll, we had a bigwig from Mercedes corporate come through the dealership. He made us remove them immediately. Why? Becuase wiping your feet on the Starmark insults the brand. In fact, MB policy dictates that The Starmark must be at heart-level or above. Serious indeed....
