In our company this is a bribe and we don't accept bribes.

My handbook at work specifically bans buying illicit drugs for customers with the company card.
It doesn't say anything about buying it with my card and getting reimbursed though...
Make sure the dealer gives you a receipt.

What are you, a cop?

I would simply refuse all gifts rather than give them to the owner.
Explain to the client that your refusing because of the policy that all gifts must go to the owner.

We need to start recognizing corporate greed as a mental disorder. This is a company large enough that employees don't interact with the owner directly, and all the profits from the company aren't enough for the owner: they also want the pen the delivery guy gave you. It's a sickness.

Even better. Make clients look for better companies.

Food? So if a client takes me for a meal I have to make sure to vomit it onto my boss' desk when I get back to the office?
Vomiting is not as much fun as waiting for it to be ready for you to deposit on the boss' desk the other way.

"Oh, thanks! What I'd like is some extremely hot sauce in a bottle labelled 'ketchup'".
or mayo in a pudding glass

Yes. Malicious compliance.

True, but it’s good to have options.

Wait, if I am, do I have to tell you?

usually, you're supposed to turn down the gift, this is just wrong
The only time I've ever had to agree to anything like this in writing was when I worked for a publicly-traded company.

If you are one, no. I think you get in trouble if you don't lie and/or kick my shit in, actually

I'll have to carry unnecessary violence with me wherever I go. Will a bat be OK?

That lovely aged fish in a can from Scandinavia called Surströmming. Make sure to ask for that.

Not saying a business/person wouldn't try to do something this shitty, but this seems like such a low effort thing to fake. Literally just a word doc printed out and duct taped to a wall.

A bat is fine too.

This is illegal most places. Might want to look into that.

Been with several companies that have the first part in their policy. It makes sense to avoid, or at best minimize an external influencing factor in company activities. Basically they don't want to mess with lawsuits. That's what company policy is for, protect the company.
The rest is owner greed. He doesn't want the gifts to stop, he wants them all without doing anything to get them. Either enforce a 'no gifts, period' policy or let people do what they will.
When you work in certain fields there are strict laws around accepting gifts from customers or clients. None of those laws allow the business owner to steal them from you.
