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'.

Should be: "Harvard Professor who's never had an ass whipping is long overdue"
What a petty piece of crap........I hate bullies like this, I really do!
Typical academic - rigid, bureaucratic
Add to that he’s got a Harvard D-bag ego (and I know a few) and the result is this Edelman character.
Same sort of people devising Obamacare, BTW
Sounds like the liberal, elitist prick got his come-uppance via the internet........
He still needs to get his ass kicked!
That’s beautiful. I hope they hang his picture in a lot of restaurants and refuse him service.
I have a son who delivered pizza's for a long while, so I know the answer to the tipping observation, but I'm not sure who the most difficult customers are.
Same group?

Harvard's Ben Edelman, Web Sheriff, May Have a Conflict or Two
Professor Carryout needs to get a life.
The way this klown is threatening people’s livelihoods a little spit in his food might be the least of his worries.

Beautiful.
That too.
If nothing else, I figure that the level entropy state will get me. Check back in about 10^92 years.
Ahhhh! Great. You had me going there for a while. ;-)
So let me get this straight, Cracker Barrel gave you FREE BACON, and you complained???
I don’t care about bacon much and for the life of me, cannot stand it on anything, especially a burger. Bacon is a side at breakfast in my case.
