Choosing Beggar Leaves Fake Bad Review, Restaurant Owner Responds


People that take the time and energy to leave fake bad reviews are the absolute worst. Just picturing someone putting in the extra effort to try and make someone else's life more miserable can get the blood boiling. Fortunately, this restaurant owner handled the situation in glorious fashion. 

1.

Text - Hi L an here, one of the an We appreciate that you have taken the time to leave this review of your experience in the Bull yesterday but we would like to point out a few issues with your critique of your experience that you conveniently omitted from owners of the your review.

2.

Text - I was here myself All day yesterday but didn't serve you personally, although I did discuss your table with the staff involved after you had left.( We'll come back to this Later) We do take all customer feedback seriously and after I saw your comment this morning here, I decided to review the cctv so I could be absolutely sure about everything, especially the timings.

3.

Text - Firstly, it was Caoimhe our floor manager who brought you to your table upon your arrival. She welcomed you and explained our daily specials and took your drinks order- a Diet Coke and two 7 ups. These were delivered to your table 2 minutes and 37 seconds later. She returned 3 minutes and 31 seconds later and took your food orders of one medium steak sandwich, with extra onion rings and two roast beef.

4.

Text - Regarding your food, the medium cooked steak sandwich you requested was prepared on the grill (to order) and served to you when ready. 14 minutes 45 seconds later Alex our waiter, delivered your food and asked you is everything okay. You replied yes and mentioned you had ordered extra onion rings and would like another diet Coke as well.. The onion rings arrived 3 minutes and 17 seconds later followed by your second Diet Coke 4 minutes and 37 seconds.( granted it took a little longer than

5.

Text - Alex then asked you again was everything okay and you all nodded unable to speak as you were all eagerly enjoying your food. When Alex approached you to clear your table he asked you was everything okay, and you raised the issue that the steak sandwich was cold and the beef was too fatty . He was confused as all the food was eaten and the plates were total clear except for the mash on the Childs plate. He asked you why you didn't tell him this when he had re- checked your table and your r

6.

Text - pointed out that you had eaten everything and had he know, he would've tried to solve any issues. You mumbled about it being "freezing" and this added to his confusion. At this point I should tell you something about Alex. He is a professionally trained waiter who has studied hospitality for four years in

7.

Text - Basically he really enjoys his job and what he does to the point where it bothers him if things aren't right. (I do like Alex for this) Alex explained to you that he finds it rather hard to understand as he watched the chef taking the steak off the grill before plating it up for you immediately. Alex then left and reported this to Caoimhe who went down to talk to you about your issues.

8.

Text - After some similar discussions Caoimhe decided to offer you free desserts and coffees on the house, as we always try to keep our customers happy. Once this was mentioned the attitude changed and she felt you and the rest of the guests on the table were satisfied. You left smiling and thanked Caoimhe for being so nice.

9.

Text - It was a little after this that I was informed what had happened. You see informed what had happened. You see Alex and Caoimhe were having a heated discussion about whether it was a genuine complaint or if some people just wanted free food. After some discussions we all went back to work and I was left wondering the finer details. It probably would've stayed there until I saw this thread this morning. That's when I decided to review some CCTV to see everything for myself.

10.

Text - As many people here have said social media can be good and bad. We are all very quick to talk about the bad things and not so much about the positive things which is a shame. We firmly believe in the Bull that mistakes happen but on this occasion Linda, its just not the case.

11.

Text - We are a small family run business and do our best to get things right, and sometimes we can all have a bad day. But I was very proud of Caoimhe and Alex yesterday (before I review the CCTV) just because they cared so much. I personally pride myself on the team that we have here at the moment, considering how difficult it can be to get talented people into the hospitality Industry.

12.

Text - I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Caoimhe and Alex for always doing their best whether it's having the craic with customers or dealing with a difficult situation. And I must say, Thank you to everyone for your support and all the positive comments

13.

Text - Thank you to everyone for your support and all the positive comments on here. We really appreciate it and it makes it worth while when we spend long unsociable working hard to give great service and have happy customers!

Quick Tumblr Post On Great American Road Trip


This quick and entertaining gem from Tumblr highlights some notable moments that anyone might be apt to encounter if they were to take the "great American road trip." The one thing they needed to include was all that empty space. 

1.

Text - things you will see on a road trip across america -so much desert that you will get scared |-seriously from california to new mexico is terrifying like it's eight straight hours of pale red desert and the sky is so large that everything, even your car, even your hands, looks like a tenuously small and fragile diorama placed on an endless pale red table and left there to dissolve.

2.

Text - -a gas station that for some reason has large dinosaurs made out of scrap metal. they are 1000% awesome. sometimes they move. take a million pictures. -a fruit stand that sells the best fruit you have ever eaten. later you won't quite remember which fruit. strawberries, maybe? peaches? -small black birds, subtly different in every state. some have gold eyes and some are a little iridescent and some are black from beak to toes. the sparrows they compete with for crumbs look exactly the sam

3.

Text - -a completely empty rest stop. no one eats at the concrete tables. no one plays in the tiny strip of grass or gravel. you will find a small and beautiful stone. -a hawaii license plate, somewhere around ohio. i still don't know how they get |the cars across the ocean. i don't know why anyone would leave hawaii for ohio. i don't know why anyone lives in ohio. -an incredibly weird duck. you had no idea ducks could look so incredibly weird, and you wish you were still ignorant of how incredi

CEO Doesn't Understand What Departments Do, Karen Catastrophe Ensues


Nothing is more infuriating than dealing with someone who is higher up on the chain of command that makes decisions without having the necessary understanding of the company, to execute successfully. By the sound of it, this CEO took an otherwise functional structure and ruined it with a Karen who had no idea what she was doing. The CEO went so far as to put Karen in charge of the people that actually knew what to do. Oh, no. 

1.

Text - r/MaliciousCompliance + Join u/ACFF • 1y CEO didn't understand what my department did apparently.... L Update at the bottom. Thanks so much for the up votes and silver, gold and platinum. I really didn't think this would take off like this. Some backstory; I was a general troubleshooter for my company. My job involved a lot of travelling to different clients we support. My area of work is Ontario, Canada (where I am based out of) and some of the nearby States in the United States (New Yor

2.

Text - car since my schedule can change quite quickly and flying can become very expensive. I had one colleague who is technically my subordinate but we have a very good working relationship and would often handle calls independently of each other only checking in by phone once a week and in person once a month/ when necessary. A little over a year ago I get an email calling me to the head office in New York City for a meeting with the CEO and the board of directors regarding my job. I check wit

3.

Text - When we go into the meeting the next day we are informed that the company is dividing our department between the US and Canada and that there would be a new person to deal with the US clients and we were to restrict ourselves to Canada. Both my colleague and I were a little shocked at this since neither of us has even heard this was being discussed. I asked who the new person for the US was and we then learned that it was a new hire that the CEO had taken a special interest in. Trying to

4.

Text - CEO - Bob, New Hire - Karen, My Colleague - Jim. Bob: Welcome Karen, we have just informed OP and Jim about the change in structure and they are willing to give you the support you need to get yourself started. Karen and Bob both look at me. Me: Glad to have you aboard Karen, I think both Jim and I have a lot of experience to share with you and we are happy to do so, perhaps it would be better in a separate meeting so we don't take the board's time. Karen: Thank you all. I have a lot of i

5.

Text - Me: Bob perhaps I misunderstood the new roles here. Would you please clarify? Bob: Sure, Karen is the new head of your department and both you and Jim will answer directly to her. Board member: That isn't what we discussed or approved as a board. We weren't fully convinced of dividing the department but this is completely against what we discussed. Karen: What did you discuss then? Board Member: That your department would be divided between the US and Canada. OP and Jim would remain north

6.

Text - Karen: That's not what I was told but I can work with that. As long as these two stay out of my way. (Indicating me and Jim) Jim and I are both shocked and insulted to be spoken of in this manner. We are both very good at our jobs and before today have never seen this woman in our lives. Bob: That settles it, OP, effective immediately, you and Jim are to have nothing to do with Karen. Do not interfere with her work at all. You are both to restrict yourselves to working within Canada only.

7.

Text - So after sending an email to all our US based clients advising them of the change and giving them the contact information of Karen, Jim and I made our way back to Toronto and reorganized ourselves for working within Ontario only. This meant much less travelling for us so it gave us more room to breathe. Within a week I was getting complaints from our US based clients that Karen was not answering emails and missing appointments. I forwarded these emails to Karen and copied the entire board

8.

Text - By the end of that month I get a call from Bob asking if I will take over the entire department again. I politely tell him no since I didn't want to interfere with Karen and her role. For the next 3 months I'm getting emails and phone calls from US clients asking if they can have me back as their contact. This confirms an idea that had been in my head. Jim and I had actually grown our client base in Ontario since restricting ourselves here. So I had lunch with Jim one day and asked him if

9.

Text - As soon as we were clear we both submitted our resignations with explanations of why. The next time clients contacted us we told them we no longer worked for the company. When they asked if we still worked in the field we told them we had established our own firm and what services we offered. A month later we had 60% of our US clients on board, and since the former company had no Canadian support at all, we had 80% of the Canadian clients. Within 2 months we had 80% of the US and 90% of t

10.

Text - Because of interest expressed in the comments I made a phone call to one of the board members I remained on friendly terms with. Here are some answers to questions. How did Karen get the Job? Apparently Bob had set up a business school scholarship out of his own money which had put something like 6 or 7 students through business school. Karen was the latest graduate and Bob wanted to give her a start in the business world. Was Bob sleeping with Karen? No clear answer was given. But Bob's

11.

Text - What happened to Bob? Last heard he was a regional director for a large hotel chain. Hopefully he also lands on his feet. Everyone deserves a chance to make a life for themselves. Some questioned why the board was there for this meeting. I honestly don't know and neither did the board member I spoke with. It was one of their regularly scheduled meetings and Bob added things to the agenda. Some questioned my use of non competes saying its not nice. Its a normal reality in the business worl

12.

Text - Some inquired if we are still hiring. Unfortunately we are not. We are taking a pause from expansion right now as Jim's wife is dealing with cancer. I don't want Jim to worry about the office while taking care of his wife so we have decided to maintain our size (which I can do with minimal input from Jim) until his wife is in remission and he has a chance to rest and return his attention more fully to our company. Jim and I treat each other like family. So this is a natural step for us. T

Senior Manager Gets Employee Fired, Employee Turns The Tables


There's nothing we love more than seeing an employee get their righteous vengeance. The one thing this employee needs to do is keep a wary eye out for that manager on down the road. Outside of that, good riddance, Eva. 

1.

Text - r/ProRevenge u/merk35802• 3h + Join 2 Senior manager gets me fired. I turn things around and get her job and salary, plus see her break down and then let her know exactly how I got my revenge. I was hired by a company as an assistant manager, a job I was well qualified for. The owner is rarely on-site as he owns several businesses. The company is run by a GM, who hired me, but who works mostly second shift and who I therefore would have little daily contact with since I was hired for firs

2.

Text - I was assigned to Eva for training. Eva was a manager and had been with the company five years. I trained with her for a few days and then I was on my own, though she and I had overlapping shifts and would see each other a few days a week. We were friendly but not close. After a few months I was doing well at my job, and had even gotten some new procedures adopted to help boost sales. Eva began to act resentful. She would correct me for small things and took any opportunity to remind me t

3.

Text - One day at shift end, GM asks to talk. Tells me it's not working out, says I'm still making mistakes at six months that I shouldn't be. I ask for examples. A few of them were petty matters Eva had mentioned, but most of them were just not true. I tried to argue but it was clear that I was set up. I decided to reach out to the owner since I had nothing to lose. He was sympathetic but said he relies on GM to run the business and had to support her decision. Then he mentioned that if things

4.

Text - I started searching her online info. In less than an hour I had uncovered gold thanks to one of those pay services - about three months prior, Eva was arrested and charged with DWI in a neighboring state. The court records showed she had a hearing coming up in a few weeks. That was enough to get her fired. It affects a professional license she and I had to have as management. Per state law, license holders must report criminal charges to the licensing board, and in the case of a DWI arres

5.

Text - That alone was sweetly satisfying revenge, but what happened next was the icing on the cake. I got to work extra early, met with owner and GM and we all agreed to start fresh. Cool. It was still an hour before opening and I was in the back of the place when I heard the front door chime. When I came out a few minutes later, Eva was there, tears flowing, begging the owner for her job back. She obviously didn't know I was there, because when she saw me her whole body seized and her shocked e

Quick Tumblr Thread On Mini Golf Being The Best


Mini golf>golf. This much is undeniable. Clearly. This quick Tumblr thread provides a quick and compelling case for why mini golf is so much fun, and far less stressful than golf.

Text - peniswakt golf sucks but mini golf is fucking awesome...truly one of life's great paradoxes peniswakt golf: • wastes crazy amounts of space and water • soul-crushingly boring • extremely frustrating to all but the highest level of players (most golfers will never even shoot par) • prohibitively expensive (golf clubs are very costly and one round of golf can cost $100+)

2.

Text - mini golf: • 18 holes will fit into an area the size of a small park; most courses use astroturf, which doesn't even require water • a fun game of skill to challenge your friends to • easy to get into, but difficult to master cheap (you and your friends can probably play for like, $20) • BONUS: cool obstacles and gimmicks (windmills, water features, secret holes, etc.) creekfiend Golf: completely fucking silent practically on pain of death Mini golf: dunking on ppl while theyre taking a s

Students Have Stupidly Genius Solution to Group Presentation


Doing a group project and presentation is hard enough, but having to prove that each person did a totally equal amount of work during the presentation? These guys figured out a stupidly genius way to handle it. Reminds us of this lazy genius approach to a school project. As annoying as this teacher's rule was, many teachers manage to say much more wild junk.

1.

Text - r/MaliciousCompliance · Posted by u/Thedepressionoftrees 20 hours ago Everyone must present equally. Okay, you got it oc s Way back in my junior year in high school, me and three of my friends had this one teacher that we all hated. One of the main reasons why we hated this guy was because if you didn't follow his instructions to the T, he would give you an F on the assignment. Cast: Me: me Friends I'll call Dave, Sam, and Ben (not real names)

2.

Text - That year, the teacher told us that we had an oral presentation to do in groups of four, and that every member must give the same amount of the presentation. He said that if the amount given was unequal, we would all receive an F. My friends and I came up with a plan. We wrote our presentation so that the number of words in it was divisible by four. The day the presentation was due, we stood at the front of the class.

3.

Text - Teacher: okay, go. Мe: so Dave: our Sam: project Ben: is Me: about Dave: nuclear Sam: power Ben: and

4.

Text - Me: the Dave: benefits Sam: that Ben:it Me: offers We did the whole presentation that way. It was pretty great. We all got A's 1 1 2
