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'.

The server is NEVER responsible for what happens in the kitchen if the order was submitted accurately, and I have yet to meet a server who won’t fix things immediately if it’s brought to his or her attention kindly.

The real stupidity is that he is picking a fight with people who he still desires to get food from.

If you are going to piss off the kitchen or wait staff, just leave and don’t come back.

As crazy as things were and he was about to run and do it anyway, it wasn’t worth it. Saner and calmer time, maybe a little different.

Unless you want your order to come with “special sauce.”
