JustMe – Don’t get me wrong. I am thankful that someone told me about this policy before being reported because if I had found out from HO that this policy was in place, I would have seriously thought about quitting.

But, I do love the products and I know that not everyone is like the few that feel the need to be vicious towards others when they don’t know any better. I’ve only been with PC for 2 months, so I’m still learning the ropes.

However, I have to agree with Lori. The ones who have left comments here are part of a forum that is there to help others (and it’s not that secure since I could browse around through it and saw the convos involving me) and yet, they never once offered advice on alternative methods of advertising. I’m part of the internet generation and print advertising is a little foreign to me. I’m looking for all the advice and suggestions I can get, yet none of those ladies even offered to help. That’s the part that disturbs me the most and kind of tells me that they are just bitter about their own businesses right now.

PS… I don’t see any violations now. Hopefully that will shut them all up now! I doubt it though, they don’t know how to drop sh!t. They now think its funny that they have been refered to by the specific website where this all started. If that site wasn’t a great source of information, and I didn’t pay for a subscription, I’d be long gone.

I resent a lot of comments on here, they just are not true to all of us PCers as we are being called. I came on here trying to help her from losing her business over a stupid policy. I never reported her, although I do know a few that did. I do however agree with some of the other PCers having their heads up their a$$e$, and being snobby b!tches. Just please don’t label us all the same, and don’t give up on PC just because of them. They really are great products!

They’re destroyers, not builders. They can’t be constructive, only nag and tear people down.

Jackie – has any of these so-called “PC Police” people offered you any help/support in trying to figure out other ways to advertise our PC business through other means rather then just continuously reporting you?

[...] An interesting post on recipes and copyright (where I learned, though was not surprised, to find that recipes aren’t copyrighted). [...]

And this makes me glad I buy my cookware from Target (that’s tar-zjay for you snobby types) or at the Corning Ware store.

Danielle I can totally understand how upset you are,because I am too! But remember its really the bitter and nasty FEW consultants that are giving her a hard time after she was made aware. I still love the PC product and I will continue to buy. In my world – IT ROCKS! However just like going to a store, I am VERY selective on who gets my business. If my consultant were anywhere near as nosey or ugly in personality as the few we have witnessed on this page,(or the chefsuccess.com where it all started and pointed Jackie out) she wouldn’t get any sales from me at all. And Jackie – I love this website – Great job!

Holy crap, I never knew Pampered Chef was so badassed.
So if I’m reading this right then:

The first rule of Pampered Chef is, You do not talk about Pampered Chef.

The second rule of Pampered Chef is, “You DO NOT talk about Pampered Chef.”

Doing some research on the internet I’ve also found that:

If someone says “stop”, goes limp, or taps out they have to buy a spatula.
Only two PCs to a party.
One party at a time.
No shirts, no shoes.
Parties will go on as long as they have to.
If this is your first night at Pampered Chef, you HAVE to fight.

I guess that’s why they’re so against the internet.

I've been following your site for a while now, and this just sounds horrible. If you're interested, Barefoot Books is another direct marketing company that actually gets the Internet- you'd probably be better off with someone else. Let me know if you're interested- I'll send you my email address later. And to all those bitter consultants attacking her, you should be ashamed of yourselves. You're supposed to help each other, not be catty. The attacks here have convinced me to not buy another pampered chef product.
