UPDATE...I would like to thank YELP for removing the post. I truly appreciate them reviewing it and deciding it was not appropriate...Manners and Kindness win!!!

A Public Service Announcement on Manners, Being Nice and Supporting Your Favorite Local Business on Social Media...

If you ever truly have an issue with us, or any business, please take the time to reach out directly to the business to resolve the situation rather than just venting on social media and "getting back at that business ".

Folks that own small businesses work VERY hard each and every day to ensure that the customer experience is exceptional. Business owners are also human and sometimes do screw up. Every business owner I know, including myself, will truly go above and beyond to correct a situation if needed. 99.9% of the time we can fix a situation...but only if we know there is an issue.

However, businesses cannot properly respond or address "reviews" that are untrue, false, or purport themselves as a credible third party knowing someone who may or may not have had an experience with a business...and, unfortunately, Yelp as well as other social media outlets will continue to allow such posts without any regard to facts or truth no matter the negative repercussions to the business.

Just a thought...you have been meaning to take the time and opportunity to support your favorite local small business.

Put up that fabulous 5 star review for that small business knowing how much it will mean to them to know they have your support and appreciation. And again, if you have concerns, questions, or complaints with a business, please take the time to have a face to face conversation with them and be open to that conversation. Let's get back to a time where communication happens, kindness prevails and a human connection is made.

Thank you.
