Harvard professor who blasted Chinese restaurant...attacked sushi joint after a Groupon dispute

The Harvard Business School professor who blasted a family-run Chinese restaurant for overcharging him $4 has previously attacked a sushi place in a dispute over a Groupon.

-snip-

In the email, published by Boston.com, he claimed he would fight to strip the establishment of its alcohol license 'if it does not honor its contractual commitments'.

He wrote: 'I call on you to honor my three Osushi Groupon vouchers.

'I also call on you to extend their validity for six weeks to reflect the day imposed by our resolution of this dispute.

'If I don't hear from you within the next 15 days, or if we can't resolve this matter privately, I will forward my complaint to the City of Boston Licensing Board, writing in opposition to your Common Victualler License and Alcoholic Beverages License.

'I will argue that the City of Boston ought not renew such license to a restaurant that does not honor its contractual commitments.'

But instead of apologizing to the stubborn customer, like Sichuan Garden did recently, Mr Edelman was banned from returning to the sushi restaurant.

Osushi restaurant's management replied to the email, blasting his ego and saying he should be 'ashamed' of his business practices.

They added police would be called if he ignored the warning and added they would give him a refund for his Groupon because 'NO ONE in retail should have to deal with someone who's [sic] ego is as large as yours'.

Before I saw the name, I resorted to stereotypes. Oi vey, looks like my stereotyping was correct again.

I don’t think I’ll bother to take a seminar from this dude on negotiations.

This isn’t about money - it’s about ego and dominance. Edelman thinks he’s being generous when he drops his pants so the world can more easily kiss his *ss.

Me and the spouse went to Cracker barrel for thanksgiving since no one in my family seems to care anymore after grandmother died.

Anyway it was jammed and loud which I figured. We somehow got seated way early. We put orders in. Me a cheeseburger and fries and hers was traditional.

They were jam up quick. I got a bacon cheeseburger and hers had a side mixed up. Anyway, both trivial. I pulled the bacon and the side was replaced.

The poor guy was over the top apologetic. We told him not to sweat taking into account the chaos. He told us that he was so grateful because several people have flipped out over way less.

The Harvard professor of business and negotiation teaches the “negotiation by threat” technique by example.
