So you are a habitual complainer and now want the employees to change policies and behaviors to suit you.......ehhhh clown move bro. You owe them an apology IMO. Personally if I was a customer in the store when that went down I would have cheered the store owners on.
Moe's
or Curleys
or Larrys
I hate how they scream at you when you come in the door, but the tacos make it worth getting screamed at
Are you one of those people who take up a booth while dining alone? Those people annoy me......
Your call from Stacey Abrams was not that important. I am sure they have been doing every thing under the sun to get you stop coming there. Get the hint and pack a bloney sandwich and eat the dam thing in your junker.
But you did give us a good laugh on ODT so next time your crying about some stupid please post it on ODT.

Sorry Friend but this is a public place. I would have wrapped my food up and stepped outside to take the call. Consider this, if you were at a sporting event, would you expect the announcements on the loudspeaker to be muted while you take an important phone call? Just saying................
Cell phones are not welcome at increasing numbers of restaurants. As one manager puts it:
''The thing about cell phones is that they've taken the city by storm before anyone had a chance to be brought up the right way about them by their parents. Their use lacks etiquette, form and propriety.
''At Tabla one night, we had three people at the same table on separate phones at the same time. I understand that restaurants are also places to do business, but what is particularly annoying is two things: One is that the people doing it are creating a scene around themselves, needing to show how important they are. Two is that restaurants are also places people go to enjoy being restored. It's hard to be restored while someone is doing something that's all about being elsewhere.''
Of course, the rudeness of inflicting a private conversation on others, whether of the ''buy/sell'' or ''Mommy will be home soon'' variety, is hardly confined to the dining room. Complaints abound from all kinds of public spaces, especially theaters and trains, where callers have all-too-captive audiences.
Why don't cell phone offenders recognize themselves, their victims ask. They seem to have bountiful excuses, usually business-related. But no matter what they claim, cell phone victims say all roads lead to one indisputable element: ME. Look at ME. Listen to ME. Stop everything you are doing at your own table, and pay attention to ME.
The offenders seem blind to the sorry reality that these high-volume, one-sided, arrhythmic monologues are becoming the technological equivalent of halitosis. Some diners see a cell phone at the next table and flag the maitre d': it is most definitely time to move.

So you have had problems in the past where you gave them a bad survey and had to be contacted by the owner? Yeah sounds like you were a problem customer the didn't want anymore. I know in my business there is 10% of the general public we can't make happy and I make it known to that 10% very quickly I would rather them do there business somewhere else.
