I agree that is the reason most restaurants fail - not regulations but laziness and shortsightedness.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12768569658001165651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44229776106220748.post-71720114190002247922015-02-11T19:35:07.386-05:002015-02-11T19:35:07.386-05:00There is no way I would own a food service busines...There is no way I would own a food service business here but if I did the help would be well trained, or be down the street.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44229776106220748.post-17635965794336516552015-02-11T17:24:13.663-05:002015-02-11T17:24:13.663-05:00bad waitress's and slow service can kill a bus...bad waitress's and slow service can kill a business faster than bad food..bad food you might think it was a bad day..bad service ? its not going awayl..maybe she's screwing the boss.yellowdoggrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14906624317290990109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44229776106220748.post-84635711962922548432015-02-11T09:31:33.861-05:002015-02-11T09:31:33.861-05:00I really wish the Feds would divide the category &...I really wish the Feds would divide the category "Small Business" by three. A Mom and Pop business like mine has entirely different stresses and strains than a business of 100 employees, yet the Feds treat them the same. And the rest of the business world follows with the same treatment. This results in the true small business getting shoved to the back of the line when seeking help MRMacrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414173517957120477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44229776106220748.post-3033603833049851512015-02-10T18:05:48.324-05:002015-02-10T18:05:48.324-05:00Too bad we aren't secret shoppers.

My sandwich could have used more meat to at least cover the small hoagie bun.Kulkurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09198195648066700925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44229776106220748.post-10824982160262347172015-02-10T18:05:28.220-05:002015-02-10T18:05:28.220-05:00Well, according to Thom Tillis, the reason small b...Well, according to Thom Tillis, the reason small businesses fail is because of these horrible onerous regulations like requiring food-service people to wash their hands after using the bathroom.<br /> If only cooks and servers could work with unwashed hands the service would probably have been a lot quicker. But no, they are forced by this tyrannical government to spend extra time soaping up and Professor Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983291640844939759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44229776106220748.post-84019286235681004392015-02-10T16:21:50.267-05:002015-02-10T16:21:50.267-05:00We seldom eat out... but when we do, I want it to ...We seldom eat out... but when we do, I want it to be kinda special... something I really like, or a great place... something.
