[QUOTE="Steve Hurt, post: 32049, member: 311"] Re: Bid Protocol Question Thank you for saying that. Giving people stuff to win business IS bribery. It is accepted in some places, demanded in others, and prohibited in yet others. I've had a purchasing agent tell me that I'd get the job, only if I gave them Indy 500 suite tickets (for them personally, not their company) I've also dealt with a state funded organization here in Indiana, where ANY gift, regardless of size, was forbidden. Bringing donuts would get you fired as a vendor and it would get the person who accepted them fired as well. Coffee cups full of chocolate is as far as I've ever progressed into the world of buying business. Unfortunately, I have to admit that those coffee cups worked. [/QUOTE]
