Bad Experience at Moon River Pizza

[CrysG]

I am right there with you!!!

Good evening. Did you ever find out who was president and what year you graduated in?

[Karl_Pilkington]

no one would notice his "Moon River is so amazing even their farts taste like pizza." attitude.

now thats some funny sh*t.  I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that South Park episode and thought of MRP.

Wow, I go away for a few days and come back to a mushroom-cloud of a thread.  Apparently it really is true that there's nothing more to talk about in Jacksonville than dog poop pocket parks and teenage hipster f**ks (thank you again, David) cutting in line at a pizza parlor.

Concerns were aired.

Differing viewpoints were voiced (and often times shot down, it seems)

Retards came and stirred the pot.

Someone in a managerial role apologized.

Honestly, from gauging how much passion some of you are putting into your posts, you'd think we were hashing out how to solve world peace or something.  Yeesh.  If you dont like it, don't go there.  Plain and simple.  Don't tell me why I shouldn't and for the love of God, accept that people have different opinions.

If that had happened, as it should have, then I think everyone would have let it drop. It hasn't.

The server made two posts on here, the first one was basically "I did nothing wrong, go screw yourself" and the second one was pretty much an "I'm sorry...that YOU got confused and misinterpreted the situation". At least it was an attempt at an apology though.

But the other half of the problem is how he was treated by management/ownership, who called him a liar, blamed it on him, etc. Nobody has heard a peep from them.

[CrysG]

Unless I missed it, I didn't see an apology from a manager either. I saw the backhanded apology that Justin gave.

[ChriswUfGator]

Well I do have to say that there is a little more anger on the part of the anti mrp posters than is warranted.

These people have never been held to account before, and it obviously came as a surprise that people have standards that they have not lived up to.

Its a lot to absorb, please take my word for it.

But I must say that people lose their own credibility if their entire attitude now consists of posting stuff telling these people that they should listen to the advice of the posters on this board, and that advice is "F*$k Off!!"

I would like to hear from Dan the owner.

But I think Justin deserves some credit here as well.

What positive advice does anyone who has eaten at MRP have to give?

Stephen, the only posters in this thread who came here with anger, using vulgar language and personal attacks, and telling us all to eff' off and 'get a life', were the Moon River SUPPORTERS, with their dozen different 1-minute old screenames with a post count of "0"...

Everyone who is a forum regular has been civil in expressing their view. But Justin from MRP, in his utterly OBNOXIOUS first post here, and then whoever the two 14yr old kids are that probably work at MRP and keep popping up with 47 newbie screenames, are the ones that express the hostility and the "Go F* yourself" attitude. Not us. Ironically enough, the very same attitude Dan and his wife complained about in the first place. Shocker...

I just want to see Dan treated right. I think Justin deserves maybe a half a prop for his second post, because like I said before, it was just another one of those "I'm sorry...that YOU got confused and misunderstood the situation" things. Only a half-azzed apology at best. And the manager and owner haven't done anything to remediate their own actions, which were atrocious.

The only thing that would make this thread better is if Moon River sold rolling papers, razor blades, and mini roses in a tube up at the service counter.

[Cliffs_Daughter]

Well, I'm curious now. Do we have a thread to post all the places we've seen or gotten A+ superior service yet? (if so, please link me)
Obviously this place is hit or miss (I'm thinking 'miss' for my own sake). So aside from pizza itself, maybe we should take time to rate those who truly want our return business?

CrysG.

If there is no up side to apologizing, why would anyone ever do it.

I cannot say I agree with this statement.  People should apologize when they recognize they are wrong because it is the right thing to do.  The attitude that simply doing what is universally recognized as the right thing to do should be rewarded frustrates me.  It deserves no accolades or reward.  While nobody ever does anything out of pure altruism, the only up side to an apology is that you get some personal satisfaction in owning up to your mistake and having done the right thing by making an apology.  Justin's apology came off as seeking an "up side" and that's why it was pretty insincere in my book.  A sincere apology seeks nothing more than the other person knowing you admit and regret your mistake, it doesn't expect a reward for having made it.

Best post I've seen in a while Tripoli.  Hear, Hear!!

Could not have said it better myself.

Wow, this is definetly a super thread.

Drop this crap already, we need to weed out the trolls and weenies.

Wait, we can't allow this thread to die! Well... if we do, at least i'm last to post in it! Woohoo!

Hmm...that's a good question. My personal local faves are (in no particular order):

-Cool Moose Cafe
-Biscotti's
-La Nopalera (best mexican...E-V-E-R)
-Sushi Rock
-Bistro AIX (if I'm in a mood to spend mega-$$$$...which isn't too often)
-Fuji Sushi
-Tom & Betty's
-Uncommon Grounds
-13 Gypsies
-BB's
-Pattaya Thai
-Okinawa Hibachi (great option when you're with 10 people)
-Kickbacks (good cheap drinking)
-European Street (also good cheap drinking)
-Al's Pizza
-Pizza Palace

I'm sure there are lots of others that I just can't think of at the moment. Anyone else, please feel free to add to the list...

FWIW, Moon River would have been on my list before this situation, but after everything that has transpired here, I definitely won't be going back there in the future, so scratch that one...
