My Three Sons - Customer Service!

2008-05-10T20:46:41-05:00

Just came back from eating at My Three Sons.

The food was just OK (not bad, not great).

We finished our meal. The staff brought the check.
I paid with my credit card. They ran the card and brought back the slip for the tip.
While i was filling out the tip, The waitress came back to the table and asked to see my ID.

Now, this was after they had run the card (provisional approval before final total). I
showed my PA driver’s license. She glanced quickly and left.

I have travel worldwide (due to business), I also eat out most weeks on the road (around 200 times a year).
I have never been asked for ID when paying for a meal. In particular, after I have paided for the meal.

I wrote on the bottom of the check that “I felt insulted being asked for ID at the table.” I pointed this out
to the waitress. She did not understand what I was saying. So, i asked to talk to the manager.

The manager (I found out the owner) arrived. I explained the problem and the feeling of being insulted.
He then started telling me I should be happy that he was trying to prevent credit card fraud. I heard several
different issues around bad checks. I explained that the charge was already paid! I told him that based on
the conversation that I would never be back and that I would post the conversation. He said, “he could not
believe that I was going to try and hurt his business by making the post”. I replied that the policy was
hurting his business, not the posting. I am just saying what happened.

No matter what happens here, He lost about 2000$ a year that I have spent over the year and would have
spent in the future. Had he just said something like, I understand or I am sorry or I will think about how it
was handled; I would not be posting nor upset.

Nothing like good customer service.

East Hopewell Township Meeting Tonight [May 7th] 7pm at East Hopewell Twp Bldg - Residents of Hopewell and Stewartstown Borough are Welcome

2008-05-07T15:26:22-05:00

East Hopewell Township will be holding their monthly meeting this evening at the township building on Hickory Road starting at 7PM. The first part of the meeting there is a subdivision plan to be presented and a couple of other business issues. No one has requested to speak at public comment period. :(

If anyone has complaints about the strong stench odor attributed to hog manure produced at the CAFO which was spread in early to mid April, please feel free to attend this meeting and voice your concerns.

It is my understanding that the odor traveled to Hopewell Township [Stewartstown Station] and Stewartstown Borough. I’ve received e-mail messages from Stewartstown Station and was approached by borough residents about the odor.

Umbrella Ban?

2008-05-09T13:58:00-05:00

OK, this is intended to be tongue in cheek, but I have to ask…

Is there an umbrella ban in SESD? None of the children I saw waiting for the bus this morning in the rain were using umbrellas. The only thing that I can figure is that since an umbrella is a potential weapon, umbrellas have been banned.

Come to think of it, none of them were wearing raincoats, either. I guess raincoats are not “cool”.

The cool thing must be to get to school soaking wet, then complain all morning about being wet from the rain.

Once again we will be having the annual S.E.Y.F.A Bull and Oyster Roast. All parents participating in the SEYFA program are responsible for 4 Tickets. The cost of each ticket is $35.00 so the total is $140.00 for all four tickets, you can make a $140.00 donation in lieu of selling the tickets. It is imperative that every ticket is sold or we receive the cash equivalent for each ticket. If in fact we cannot sell all the tickets we will need to raise the cost of registration next year. This is the only fund raiser that SEYFA does. We do not ask you or your children to sell food (i.e. candy, pizzas etc.) like most other organizations do. It keeps the cost of the program down and helps with new equipment, reconditioning of equipment, new practice and game pants as well as new jerseys.

ALL Ticket money is due September 11, 2008 NO EXCEPTIONS, if you lose the tickets you are still responsible for the price of the tickets, if you do not sell them you are also still responsible. S.E.Y.F.A reserves the right to withhold playing time from your child to play until all funds are paid in full.

Home Duct Cleaning

science class or culinary school???

My son, a 6th grader at SEMS West, came home last week with a slip asking for permission to participate in a squid dissection. I signed the form to allow him to dissect. He came home and told us what happened that day… one of the first things that came out of his mouth was that they got to eat it!!! My first thought… he did not just say that!!! The squid were brought to the school frozen and thawed outside in the sun, the squid were given to the students and their dissection tools consisted of no more than a plastic picnic knife and a paper plate. The squid was cut up and cooked outside, the children were encouraged to eat as much as they wanted. I can understand if they bought some frozen calamari rings at the store and cooked them to let the kids know what it might taste like, but this is totally unacceptable!! Absolutely barbaric!! By the end of the story, I was absolutely livid… still am, if you can’t tell! My husband immediately jumps on the computer to email the principal of the school. It has been 4 days and we have still heard nothing from her. We have had problems with this teacher since the beginning of the school year, but I would have never thought that she would be so unprofessional!
Has anyone else heard this story from their children? Am I overreacting?
Any thoughts?
