They need some meat there, and it should not be soggy or crispy.

Exactly. We have a lot of grocery stores in our area. Sometimes, they
will send the mystery shoppers to the competitors to see how they
compare on service.
I actually go across town for my vet because I don't like the vets
near me. One is a chain of vets, and they push for sales. I took one
cat there a week after I adopted him. He was having tummy troubles
because of the change in food and probably some stress. He was a
stray, so we didn't know his previous food and couldn't switch it
slowly. I just wanted to make sure that he didn't get dehydrated since
that can get serious. The vet kept pushing me to get him vaccinated
even though the shelter had already done that. They insisted that he
needed more, and put in the record that I had refused. My regular vet
just asks if I have the info and ads it to their records.
I have found that my regular vet will tell me if I don't need
something extra, so when they do say I need something, I can trust
them. Not so with that pushy vet. So, I go across town. It is worth
the trip.

that is probably legal, but i don't know about the rest. in a restaurant
(at least) 'private property' doesn't matter as much as that you are a

No, we won't know. Its failure - if it fails in the near
term - may involve any number of factors, this included.
My wager is that it will survive and flourish. I'm going
to revisit this topic around 12/15/11 and see how the
restaurant is doing. The thread will be called "Red
Medicine Revisited." If the restaurant has failed,
I'll concede error.
reply: What a refreshing thing, a voice of reason in the sea of the
opinionated illuminati cabal!
I would bet also that they will be there in a year, and I would also bet
that their take has risen dramatically since the incident. And I bet it's
people who normally wouldn't find out about it.
We'll see.

That brought back memories. An old friend whose husband owned a
commercial fishing boat always made hotel and restaurant reservations
under the name Captain "John Doe" and it ensured them great service.
Another friend in New England had the same first and last name as an
Archbishop. He never claimed to be the same person but also took
advantage of the coincidence.

It is company wide. I do wish that they would remove the suggestive
selling from the service report as I don't think it has anything to
do with service. I understand why they want us to do it, but I have
never heard a customer complain that we didn't suggestive sell to
them. And it is now more complicated, so it is harder to get credit.
When I do miss, that is usually the one. I don't think I have ever
missed greet. I have only missed take to the item once, and it said
unprofessional, so I think I walked too fast. I try to go slow, but i
am used to walking fast, and that might come across as impatient.
Anticipate is easy. Knowledgeable is easy. Sample is easy (I used to
miss that one a long time ago). Offer carryout and parting comment
are easy too. So the only hard ones are selling suggestion and close
the sale (which sounds pushy to me).

During his teens in England did he make reservations as Master Bates?
Ok, it was an easy one ;-)

On the first day God created the sun - so the Devil countered
and created sunburn. On the second day God created sex. In
response the Devil created marriage. On the third day God created
an economist. This was a tough one for the Devil, but in the end
and after a lot of thought he created a second economist!

Dammit Ed-- I read your first 2 sentence 5 times. . . . I 'know' you.
I respect you. So I was contemplating my own thought process for
*way* too long before I read the rest of your post.
Good point-- These guys are probably the same folks who hate cops
because some of the dress like hoodlums and lie about their identity
in their search for the truth.
Sheesh--

Years back, we had a reviewer review our country style restaurant. He
didn't like the Goulash because it had a thin layer of fat on top. I
happen to like it that way. And he raved about our home made apple
pie which was not home made at all, but purchased from a frosted foods
supplier. Bake and serve. Maybe we should have served him borscht
and told him that it was a Latino specialty.

I see those ads where you get a 5 star hotel room for a 2 star price.
How about a 2 start hotel room for a 1 star price? On rare occasions.
I have had to pay $100 or more for one night, and I didn't think
those rooms were any better than the $60 rooms I normally get. Some of
the cat shows are at a hotel that is supposed to be really nice.; We
stayed there the first time since it was so convenient. The special
was $89 a night (before taxes), and i was very disappointed. No
fridge. No microwave. Cheapest breakfast was $12. And wifi was $10 per
night, per computer. The second night, my sister logged in first on
her laptop, so I had to wait for her computer to check email or pay
another $10. And the show hall wasn't within the wifi zone. The next
time, I went back to the Days Inn, where the room was $50 a night, and
we had a fridge, microwave, free wifi, and free waffles for
breakfast.
