A Defining Moment


There are moments that define, change, and transform you~

I just had one of these moments. I am not claiming this moment to be alike to the birth of my sons, my wedding day or the death of my mother. I compare this moment to a defining paradigm shift, which I will never return.

As a business owner, now about to open our sixth door. I have always been under the opinion that our food can speak for itself and that customer service will come second, not as important as the food though. Tonight I was proved wrong and thus the paradigm shift. While in Marco Island my family and I visited a local restaurant. While the food was amazing and the service out of this world. I encountered one of the ruddiest hostess I have ever met. I was enraged by the way I was spoken to without just cause. My blood boiled. My family spent over 200 dollars in this restaurant and was abused by this woman.

At this moment came the change. I feel deep regret; sadness and embarrassment if anyone that has worked for me has ever treated anyone in this manner. This behavior is no longer expectable in my company. I promise from now on to take action on those who treat my customers with disrespect. And if this has happened in the past I apologize and wish that you would tell me now so I can buy you and your family a meal and express my deepest apologies.

Thank you,
