Folks--
You've got to be fair to Ron and others in the service industry. The old
adage "it's hard to find good help these days" is as true now as it was
when Shakespeare or Plato or Cro-Magnon man wrote it. Turn over is
unavoidably high, tempo of operations is typically harsh, and
expectations are overly high for a system that is typically operating at
full throttle.
I think it is fair to feel frustrated, but Ron and other vendors on list
have said many times "if you have a problem, let me know". It isn't
fair, in my opinion, to skewer a business when the proprietor has no
knowledge of the misdeed of his employees. If I got skewered publicly
every time a BH writer makes a grammatical error, or a graphics person
uses the wrong hue of green, I'd be changing oil for a living.
Play nice.
Developing business and guiding change since 1996,
