In addition to your thorough analysis, Corry, I like the fact that this man related your experience back to himself, by giving his own family as an example. He makes it personal, which reinforces the fact that he understands your concerns and issues.

I always appreciate people who are able to acknowledge their shortcomings with maturity and professionalism, and this man did.

And good for you for following up on this experience. You not only helped demonstrate what great leadership skills are made of, you also helped this restaurant improve their customer service.

Comment on When is losing a client good for business? by Lora Smith

Hi Corry,
Can’t believe your story…Is the restaurant so bloated with business?! Children’s behaviour being as it is, you might have had to order from the kids menu at some point in the future but they have lost you before they could convert you to “that type” of customer! Furthermore, we find that restaurant portion sizes are so out of whack that two adults can often share and be completely satisfied never mind an adult and a child. Not sure I want to support this bueinss either. Are you going to share the restaurant name?

Wow!

I can understand that restauranters are in business to make money, but COME ON!

I am quite dissapointed in that manager’s common sense. There are no rules that cannot be bent or accommodated when it comes to family dining restaurants…

It’s obvious to me this guy cannot be the owner of the place….A true business owner would not act that way towards his customers.

This guy probably doesn’t really care, all this is to him is a job, a paycheck…etc…no real attachement to the well being of the restaurant.

Corry, you owe it to everyone else that dines or might dine at this restaurant to divulge it’s name. I for one will do my part in supporting your action. They will never see my family of 4 spend money there…And I will make sure to pass it along to all my large circle of friends in my hockey and soccer environment of our area…..

It’s not like you have 2 teenagers for Pete’s sake!!!
And anyway, are they that close to their pennies that they need to charge you 2 extra kiddy meals !!!!??

in that case, Mr.Idiot, you just cost your restaurant alot more than 2 kiddy meals.

And PS : CAGE AUX SPORTS, sundays, kids eat for FREE!
1 kid per adult. and there is no limit.
we go there with our entire hockey team, and we are received with open arms and smiles…And great service.

So, let me know where this place is, that is so hell bent on losing business.

Cheers!
Eric

Absolutely brilliant! This reminds me of a friend who once told me her father lived by one basic rule, that he called SIUM. When she asked him what it meant, he replied “suck it up, muffin”. I really like that.

Thanks, Corry, for your always thought-provoking posts!
