    Pretty sure I just got anti-bribery ethics and compliance training that said no one in my company is allowed to accept such gifts lol

    Yeah we had that training. Not that anyone ever offers me bribes anyway.

    It's like all the lies about the drug dealers giving kids free drugs. Never happens.

      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.

            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.

                    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.

                          True, but it’s good to have options.

                              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.

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