8-22-09 Saturday (I Won’t Be Back)

Caution, rant:

So, here it is 12 days later since the “roach incident” and I get an email from the general manager, Rebecca of the local Arizona Pizza. Her email says:

My name is Rebecca Green and I am the General Manager at the Arizona Pizza at 8700 Gladiolus. I am truly sorry for your experience and would like to speak with you in regards to your dining experience. It is not our intention to provide substandard service to any of our guests and this issue will not be taken lightly. I would also like to applogize for the delay in responding as I never received your email.
If you could provide me your phone number or give me a call at 239-481-8242 we can discuss your experience further.

Once again let me express my sincere apology for our lack of service and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

I’m amazed it took this long. I’m amazed that she wasn’t given the original email which had my blog address and phone number. She mentions substandard service, which wasn’t the issue. My email states I’m not wanting anything free because I simply won’t be back. I continue that if they still insist on a free coupon, I’ll just give it away. I replied to Rebecca, included my original email, omitting my phone number and blog address, so she won’t bug (get it?) me. I’m grateful for the apology.

More restaurant rant: While in California, restaurants had their inspection score posted on their window. It was law to be displayed. I think their health inspections were more intense. Then again, California is all about complicated. Oh and bankrupt too. And Terminator. And raisins … anyway it was handy to have their grade posted on the window. There’s even websites with a way to search for restaurants based on grades. More info if you want, click here.

Dinner: We went to Brenda & Peggy’s in Lehigh for dinner. It was a healthy and delicious dinner (Brenda is on Results Weightloss). My favorite was the grilled chicken topped with a peach salsa. It’s Newman’s mild peach salsa but don’t be fooled, it had a slight kick here and there. Also in attendance was Glenn & Kevin who introduced us to these wonderful ladies.

Something cute: So I went to Big Lots today. I wanted to get a small bottle of laundry detergent that I can bring to the laundry room when I want to wash the comforter or such. It’s so hard to transport the 55 gallon drum we buy from Sam’s. So, I see the smallest and cheapest bottle. One bottle has a “free t-shirt” attached to the bottle and the other package doesn’t. I chose the one with the freebie. Look how cute the t-shirt is. It’s smaller than an apple. I bought the apple at Walmart. It wasn’t attached to the bottle. I may have included it to demonstrate the size of the compacted t-shirt. Or, I may just leave apples laying around the coach. You decide.

Above: Once I unfolded the shirt, it was way too small (child’s large). I think the languages are English and French. No, I’m sure about the English part. The French is the part I’m not sure of.

I won't be wearing this shirt out to the Arizona Pizza Company anytime soon.
