The Cleaner Makes an Announcement. Is It Valid?
Question
The school cleaner announces that anything found on the floor is his property.
Whoever does not want to give him gifts should make sure to pick up whatever she does not want to give him and put it on the table or take it home.
Is that okay?
Answer
I think the principal can do that, not the cleaner. The cleaner can only say that he refuses to clean under those conditions, or that he wants a raise, etc. He is not the owner of the place.
Discussion on Answer
I don’t know. The parents should contact the administration and ask.
Since the administration kept quiet,
does that mean it is acceptable to them?
Is silence tantamount to admission?
