There is also no such thing as bad publicity. I suspect the restaurant’s business will be a little busier soon
That may be so. I always thought that ‘word of mouth’ was important. If someone likes your business, they will tell a few people; if they hate your business, they will tell everyone they know.
It would be interesting to see a follow up in a few months, to see if your prediction comes true.
Thanks for the reply!
Yes, Jerkdom is not confined to one race or religion.
I don’t think I’m thinking whatever you’re thinking...
Maybe he can get a job at Harvard...
He offered to pay the guy.
I don’t know who you are, so I couldn’t tell you.
And?
What? Jewish is a problem?
Why, because people like being ripped off?

That professor! What a complete bastard. The restaurant manager was magnificent, and never lost his temper online.

Yes, I read about her Macadamia Madness. What a baby! She must be rich, because the Koreans can be pretty tough on troublemakers when they want to be.
i am sure he mentioned he graduated from Harvard in the first one or two sentences arguing with the restaurant.

liberal privilege. nothing to do with color. that’s just hows they grow ‘em up there.
Apparently, thankfully, it has been pulled. (I was greatly enjoying the thread, until landing there.)
The Harvard dude should have politely asked for his $4.00 back; and probably would have been given it.

Anyone want to bet who Mr. Edelmen voted for?
What a little cretin. A smug arrogant self proclaimed hero of the people wasting everyone’s time over a 4 dollar mis-print on a menu. Rather than just accept the apology and rebate NO, his Hahvahd edumacation kicks in. He has to make the guy PAY for offending a spoiled little man-child.
I bet the prick didn’t even tip.
