Any restaurant manger worth his salt would attempt to accommodate a customer in this situation and at the very least give some sort of discount if not just comp the meal outright. Pissed off customers are like a virus to a restaurant and quit often lead to their deaths. The saying is if somebody is happy with their experience they’ll tell their friends but if they’re unhappy they’ll tell everyone.

*** end quote ***

I’d go a little futher and let me share my strategy and tactics to help “the invisible hand of the marketplace” administer some “market discipline”.  If I am happy or unhappy, then I not only tell everyone but I also use social media to praise or complain.  I don’t know if my social media posts make a difference but sometimes I get a positive response from the target.

YMMV

Trump and Republicans have argued for years that social media giants like Facebook and Twitter were abusing the immunity to silence conservative voices on their sites.

How Obama’s media strategy unraveled with recovered POW

The bottom line is that the president settled on a controversial, high- risk strategy here in a difficult and problematic manner — and then sought to use his mastery of pop culture to change the story to a more palatable one. But some stories just can’t be gussied up.

More important for the president’s future fortunes is this lesson: You can only spin for so long before you start spinning yourself. Spin and spin and spin and soon you have a whirlwind to reap.

1. We negotiated with terrorists putting Americans further at risk.

2. We released dangerous men back into the wild.

3. Why do we have Gitmo? Shouldn’t we be killing those that attack up?

4. This President is inept at best.

SOFTWARE: FINDFRIENDS interesting application

Interesting use for it. 

My friend Pete’s in the hospital in Jacksonville FL.

I know where is phone is!

Laff.

I assume he still has it with him.

So, without bothering anyone, I know he’s still there.

Now if it could just tell me the altitude, I’d know if he’s still in ICU or moved to a regular room.

Laff!

Stalking to a new level.

JOBSEARCH: “The Coffee, Meal or Beer Rule”

“The Coffee, Meal or Beer Rule” of Social Media
thom singer 

*** begin quote ***

Not every one of my contacts originally met this criteria, but a majority of those in my LinkedIn and Facebook lists are those with whom I have had a substantial initial conversation. A few got in before I established the policy, and I often make exceptions for meeting professionals and recruiters whose industries practices are to utilize LinkedIn as a way to reach out to people they may wish to do business with in the future.

There are those who disagree with my policy and believe one gains more from linking to everyone, but this has served me well. When I get a request, I will often ask for a personal meeting or a call. If the person reaching out cannot make the time for a chat, I am not sure why they want the connection at all.

My advice to others is to have a policy (even if it is different from mine), and then to be respectful of others who use these tools in different ways! (Lack of respect for those with differing opinions is an epidemic online, and we must get beyond that!).

*** end quote ***

I agree one needs rules.

In the early days of LinkedIn, I loaded my address book.

Now I regret that.

Not enough to go back and clean it up, but enough to have printed copy of my connection and disconnection criteria.

I also dislike this new trend on LinkedIn of people saying you have a skill. (Dumb!)
