hi Cheese,
It’s always good to process your well considered input. But I’m wondering, what would YOU do if, for example, you got a ticket for having your “P” plate sticker only just 3mm outside the correct spot on your windscreen? Would you expect me to have sympathy for you? Probably not.
You have previously stated that YOU don’t eat at HJ,’s, so you don’t actually care either way about the service. Well, I do – even though I don’t often eat there. If that makes me a wierdo in your eyes, well so be it. But IF you ever get that ticket for a “P” plate being 3mm from where it should be displayed, give me a call, because I WILL back you up – and fight for your rights.

It’s a matter or rights and principles. People have NO rights to set up a business and treat us with disrespect and totally disregard the safer food handling practices. People like you who say, ‘I don’t eat their so it doesn’t bother me”, or even worse, “If you don’t like it, don’t eat their”. aren’t doing any good for anyone. Surely you can see SOMETHING in that?

“E” said, “Patricia, it is obvious to me that you just need to have the last word.”

First of all, that seems a strange comment seeing that YOU have just replied- hence YOU are wanting the last word. But that aside, I’m glad you have responded because at last there is some communication regarding the problems at this particular store.

But this particular comment you made really does surprise me. You said,
” It might actually surprise you to let you know that we have a number of regulars visit our store thus not only having customers from out of town, and that myself nor any other manager of this store have had a complaint made about poor hygiene practices.”

Are you certain about that? You criticise my comments on this blog, but you seem to have totally ignored the comments of other posters. There is one very early in the discussion who complained about food poisoning. But seriously, that is not the issue. The point you and everyone from your store is missing is NOT the actual food poisoning, but the POTENTIAL for food poisoning. Crew members handling money and then NOT washing their hands before handling food is a potential disaster. You may not agree with this, but it’s true. And you even have a staff member who said he needed permission to wash his hands before handling food (you’d know that if you actually read the previous posts instead of attacking the messenger).
