Bad Experience at Moon River Pizza

[JeffreyS]

Wow a week and 19 pages worth of this.  It is often surprising what inspires people here.

mtrain "DD (no offense), but you can handle this and take the high road."

What would that be? Not share the experience with others? I think people forget that we actually do not have any other recourse when you receive a bad experience as this. The health dept and the state of Florida doesn't care about experience, they care about sanitary & health issues. Posting on here was the right thing to do. I'm glad he did and I'll take this moment to say "Thank you Dan for letting me know!"

Aren't there alternative places for pizza?  This publicity may actually result in a positive net gain of customers and revenue.

Tons of places around. Many of them actually have better pizza. And to my knowledge, none have arrogant management and employ P.T.S.D. poster-boys who randomly explode as servers.

Doubt it. Big difference between negative and positive publicity, especially when you're talking restaurants. So when Channel 4 does their "Restaurant Report" segment, and shows an eatery with dead rats and roaches crawling around a kitchen, you really think their business is going to improve?

Good point, but this is a written account, not video footage with creepy crawlies.  I used to get my roach fix from Hot Rods/Sharkx/That Place Down the Block from 616.

LOL, that makes you something of a local celebrity around here. See...that Sharx thing was open for a year or more, but somehow nobody could ever find a person who had actually been there. One of my buds was convinced the place must have been a front for a drug operation...

Jacksonville Confidential went and reviewed it, and to this day, they're the only people I ever knew went there. And now, there's you! Finally...we know there actually WAS a real customer...

I went into Moon River the other day and they were PACKED.

I think you are giving this forum too much credit on how it will effect business.

Hot Rods makes disgusting taste gourmet.

Taste and smell are linked and it would have helped if the lingering odor of stagnant urinal water was absent.

At least there was no shortage of seating. 


Back to the Moon River saga.

I had Al's tonight, when we normally would have had M.R.P., had I not been outraged by what they did to Dan. I doubt Dan's going back, and there are many others in this thread who said the same. And forums being what they are, I'm sure there are many folks who haven't posted, but will read it and come to same conclusion.

So say what you will, but this thread has definitely cost them some amount of business...

Here's the review that JaxConfidential did. It's hilarious, and they totally agreed with you...

I drove by Sharks today around lunch-time, and they looked closed.

Did eat there once, wasn't appalled, but wasn't impressed, either.  Note I said "once".

Well, I can assure you the pen and paper to the State have more effect than throwing a tantrum and stooping to the level of the wait staff. Nice to know that adults act like kids, but really, I could see the same behavior on I95 daily, and we don't need to write about it. I guess we could, would that keep you from driving I95 ever again?

Well...if there were a lot of equally tasty alternative routes with only good drivers on the road, then your analogy could make sense.

Bad analogy.

There's only one I-95.

There are 465,345,978,123,764 pizza places in town.

And again you don't pay to drive on I-95....
