Bad Experience at Moon River Pizza

[ChriswUfGator]

Not everyone sits in front of a computer all day like I do, and most of the rest of us on here.

I could see if the owner was already a participant on this blog, and still refused to comment, but I dont believe that is the case.

Even at this point, IF he did come on here, make a user name, (which you would all frown upon) and make an apology after 23+ pages (which you would all frown upon). It still wouldn't be good enough for this crowd at this point in this thread, and all of its tangents. It has already been proved with Justin and his apologies.

The owner actually does come here, and admits he has been reading the thread, so I'm not sure where you're going by implying that he has better things to do, or that maybe he didn't notice it. He already admitted that he knew about it, and admitted to other people that he has read it.

The thing that gets me, is that he now claims to be 'upset' by what people have written about him, when everything written about him was entirely accurate. And of course, conveniently enough, he wasn't too 'upset' to continue refusing to offer the apology he owes to Dan or to acknowledge the obvious and say that he was wrong...

And FWIW, I've said right from the beginning that Moon River High School owes Dan and his wife an apology, and that they owe him the courtesy of doing it over the phone or in person. But even if the owner decided to do it here, which would seem logical considering he was obviously reading the thread, then nobody would have hassled him about it, including me.

The only issue I had was when it became obvious that the same idiotic person was creating a dozen fake screenames just to post on here while pretending to be different people. That has nothing to do with this. If the owner truthfully identified himself and addressed the situation with an apology, as is clearly warranted, then nobody would have given him flak over it.

And as I said before, I'm not knocking you, but you aren't an unbiased opinion here...

The owner actually does come here, and admits he has been reading the thread,

Oh, I must have missed that part, please copy and paste that part that I missed, thanks.

[ChriswUfGator]

Compound, I can't believe you made me cut & paste a post from the last page man.

You're getting almost as lazy as me!

Here you go. Justin's conversation with Stephen confirms the owner has been reading this thread, or at the very least is well aware of its contents:

I ran into Justin, the fellow in the hot seat, at TSI last night (after a surprisingly helpful introduction---almost too eagerly helpful, one might suspect ----by the scandal enthusiast young club owner)

He really is a nice fellow, and its apparent that the situation just got out of hand and was handled badly.

He says that they have had a recent round of discussions about how better to improve service (which is a good thing no matter what the circumstances) and says that the net effect of the first few days of posting were overwhelming emotionally to the owner (I can certainly sympathise).

Im going to check out the place for dinner tonight I think.

I will report later.

Stephen can fill you in better on the exact details, but the guy has clearly read what's been written here.

Oh, I saw that, but you said,
"The owner actually does come here, and admits he has been reading the thread," which was an assumption, yeah obviously he has heard about this, but I dont think he is a visitor here. Im sure he has heard about it.

What Im saying, if everyone thinks the only resolve of this issue is for him to visit this thread, make a screen name, and apologize, my personal opinion is that it wouldnt help anything, but only add another 24 pages with everyone telling him how he should have done it, how you would have done it, blah blah blah..

It would be like jumping into an alligator pit..
My point is, no matter what happens here, its never going to be good enough, or done right according to everyone here.

Oh come on now...of COURSE he's been here and read this thread! If it weren't mathematically impossible, I'd actually put the odds of that not being the case at P<0. LOL

Because when someone says "hey, there's this forum on the internet where 300 people are all talking about you", anyone's first response would be to NOT READ IT...

ROFL!!!!

Come on, human nature being what it is, you don't really think that, right?

And I still think Dan and his wife are owed an in-person apology and maybe a free pizza or something. I agree the internet route wouldn't be the best thing, but I don't think people would jump all over him if he did come and apologize. The 10 different fake s/n trolls caught hell for being the same 15yr old, and then Justin caught hell because he didn't really apologize. But I don't think anybody would question a *legitimate* (e.g. non-backhanded) apology from anyone involved.

We can agree to disagree, but again, some people (like me) spend all day at the computer, thats in my line of work. Some people, a lot of people, dont get on a computer much. 

Say he did read it at pages 1 thru 3, or 1 thru 6, who knows.. but I seriously doubt he is here reading it every day through all 24 crazy nonsense pages of people listing their favorite restaurants, and every tangent its been on.
Seriously.

This thread will never come to a conclusion that everyone agrees on, but with this, I will end MY comments, biased or not, legit none the less.

Hey don't sweat it, I spend all day on the computer, and it's NOT even what I do for work. LOL.

Beats paying attention in remedies though!

I am going to try the place now so maybe it has been good advertising but I may now be more critical so maybe it is bad.

You should ask for the MetroJax Forum discount!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROFL

LOL. Moon River is so overrated. However, I feel Dapperdan should have dropped it after telling the manager, it sounds like she made it right. I'm not even sure if Dapperdan was entitled to free food, by that account everyone in line should have been too. You would have my sympathy had you not lost your cool as well, all bets are off in my opinion when you shouted profanity. I would suggest Picasso's Pizza in Mandarin. I live in Avondale but drive over the Buckman about once a week for their delicous pies and I'm really at a loss why they are'nt busier. Then again, I dont want it to become too popular and have to wait in line...Choose your battles Dannyboy!

Did you even read anything he wrote? That's not what happened...

And what a shocker. Another new screename with a post count of 0 that registered just to post in this thread...

[CrysG]

So I went away on vacation and came back and the thread is still going strong.

There have been some "undercover" customers(that should be entertaining) more back and forth with people wanting to sit at the cool kids table and now the manager being emotional distressed but not enough to man up and use one of the 212164515613 new user names to apologize. Heck he could have even PM dapper and apologize to him and his wife.

My money still wont be spent at MRP.

You know, I think Moon River should yell at their customers and throw things at them, like one of those purposely rude restaurants. That could be their niche.

I saw this article on the front page of Yahoo! this morning, and it made me think of this thread.

And David, I believe this is the restaurant you're thinking of:
