Okay, so yesterday Carol & I stopped by a new diner in Gap, Pennsylvania. I have to preface this story with a few 'true comments' ~1. we went the first week they were open and we LOVE IT, fast service great food, fantastic experience. Well....what a difference a month makes, we go up there at like 9:30am ~totally packed in there! Word was out, they were doing great things. Fantastic for them!!! So we sat down, and guess how many minutes passed before we got so much as a good morning? ~ten. Ten minutes. So then ten more go by & no waitress, she had not even come over to take our order.....yup. We had to GO!!! So we WENT. While I was paying for my coffees, I overhear a conversation between a client & the cashier. ~BASHING another local restaurant owner & the business they do.....WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? this is the SECOND TIME I'VE BEEN IN THIS PLACE AND THE SECOND TIME I HEARD THE STAFF MAKING DISPARRAGING REMARKS ABOUT ANOTHER LOCAL BUSINESS....my thoughts are this....IF YOU ARE DOING YOUR BEST WORK, YOU NEED NOT BASH ANOTHER COMPANY. IT JUST SEEMED LOW CLASS TO ME & WE FEEL IT IS A VERY BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE.....I wondered to myself as I left the restaurant, HOW MANY OTHER CLIENTS WERE THINKING THAT SAME THING? Will this eventually affect their business in a negative way....I mean, KARMA STATES THAT IF YOU PUT THAT NEGATIVE JUJU OUT THERE, IT WILL MOST DEFINITELY RETURN TO YOU? What do you guys think?
Love the new place, but won't go there again when it is so full. the waitress was too busy to even notice that we were sitting there so long and had to get to work. The only negative part came as we were waiting at the register to get checked out. It is NEVER good to put down your competition. RUN YOUR OWN RACE.Hopefully somebody will tell them to stop this before it hurts their business.
ReplyDeleteAgree Mom, STAY IN YOUR LANE!!!! lol...I never would do such a thing, it just makes you look insecure in my opinion when you need to down another to lift yourself up, you are basically admitting that you think your own merit will only take you so far.....i know i can go to the top all by myself :)
