Ahh...gotcha. I'll have to try it!

You are correct, when speaking of Hickman, that people with malicious beliefs and a history of shitty behavior are not as easily forgiven as otherwise good and productive members of the community when they make a mistake.

But that's exactly appropriate and as it should be. Serial offenders and dick wads get cut less slack that mostly good people who make a rare terrible mistake. That's a very normal thing and a healthy social dynamic.

So, I dunno, I guess we are talking about personal perception and there is no arguing someone out of an opinion.

To me this is a bad thing the guy did, he is rightly deserving of the criticism he got. He owes an enormous apology to the family, which he gave, owes the proper delivery of the funds, which he did, and the family certainly has the right to bear a grudge against him for a long time.

But otherwise, for just some other John Q Public member of the community to deem this unforgivable....seems silly to me.

But it's what you feel, so it is how it is.

The question is if moving to a nicer location would bring in more customers. It's possible they could offset extra overhead with more customers. It's a gamble though

Fuck this guy! What a piece of shit.

I used to go to a small dentist place but the guy retired, the company that took over his business Dove Dental was.... traumatic for me.
They're probably great for the average person, but for someone with lots of social anxiety it was NOT a comfortable visit.

So I'm definitely gonna be looking out for whatever people suggest here, it's been a year since I last went to the dentist and I still feel overwhelmed thinking about that last visit :P

What he did was despicable. Like I said once already I'm not boycotting the restaurant or anything like that. I believe he obviously fucked up and what he did is unforgivable. It's a family who never sought him out, whose name was dragged through the mud because he chose to dodge them for months on end. If it was Mike Hikman that shit would be brought up every time one of his restaurants was mentioned in the comments here.

I’d rather them stay in the skeezy place and keep the prices where they are.

So it’s literally impossible for him to make amends and be forgiven? At least by you?

Something along the lines of his finances being messy back in May and then him ignoring the family.

Yikes. That sounds suspicious as hell. Did the owner explain why this all happened?

Fantastic doesn’t do it justice

I tried signing up for Brightspeed but we had the situation where Lumen (cabling contractors) wanted to charge is over $1400 to hook it up to our house. Why it was so expensive, no idea. I called Brightspeed, cancelled the install, and let them know that there's no way anyone is gonna sign up for that service with those install fees. Hopefully they figure that out.

Meanwhile, AT&T fiber just became available in our neighborhood. Got it installed the next day. No install fees. 500Mb/s for $65/mo. Been great so far!

Honestly, most people won't need more than that. Hell, most people probably can't even use faster than that on wifi.

Owner of Thai Express offered to raise money for a family whose child died. Never paid the family despite the family reaching out. Family goes to the news. The owner of Thai express tried to stop the story legally before finally owning up to making a mistake.

Owners Facebook post was to a group who worships him. Group largely starts attacking the family the fundraiser was for saying they were after money. Owner stays silent over people's attacks of the family whose child died. Owner finally paid up, by donating the proceeds to a charity that the family chose. Owner finally asked people to stop attacking the family after a long silence.

I already bought one at Skaggs. It must be a numbered, limited edition because it says "1988" on the front.

Is that the place in the skeezy strip mall on Sunshine? Their food is good, but boy I hope they can move to a nicer spot at some point.

Also once lawyers got involved, you gotta be really careful with what you say about anything. Him making a post at all until the matter was resolved was probably a bad idea by itself.

In any case, criticism to Nett on this matter is fair. He's gonna have to take it on the chin and do better moving forward

Wait hold up what am I missing? I don’t watch much news and deactivated FB so I haven’t seen what’s happening

Please refer to my comment above

Hrmm sorta? but not really, it's all diced and cooked together. It is nothing like getting shrimp fajitas at a Tex Mex place.

Thanks for the dialogue! Same to you.

I work at the front desk of the hotel here at Vib/The Wheelhouse! The front of house person at The Wheelhouse buses the lobby. If you are feeling extra nice you are welcome to bring the plates up and set them on the bar. No pressure to do so!

that's a mark twain quote about st louis

She gets me one every year before Christmas but once I eat all the little chocolates out of it, it's worthless to me.

I like to bring them to the bar if there is space where someone isn't sitting, but I do that to be nice. I think you are fine to leave them.
