The Soda wars
Since starting working part time with Pepsi, I am fascinated with the so called soda war. It appears those, in management, working for one soda company is totally against the purchase of the other soda products. How bad is it? If a Pepsi employee is caught buying or drinking Coke products, while on work, will be fired. On the other side of the coin, Coke actually informs their employees they cannot even eat lunch at a Pepsi serving food place. The first comes to my mind is Taco Bell, ect.
To me, this sounds pretty drastic. However, I can also see the implications of a employee wearing one brand and drinking the other. It sets a bad image to those viewing this spectacle.
Even if I find this drastic, I am told one long term employee will not allow his family to even bring into the house the competiter's items.
Like I said, it's interesting.
