Hi Paddy, Yes it was a real letter;-) I found out when the owner/manager was going to be in the office and I hand carried the letter to her. I was very polite and respectful. And I had already set it up before hand that I was going to be there at a certain time. The other waitress had already gone to bat for me, and was also there today. The first thing she did was come up and apologize for the other waitresses behavior. > You introduce yourself as " Jack " , but sign the the > letter, both at the top and bottom, as " John " . Yes, it was deliberate, and was a form of pacing their previous knowledge. They already know me there as Jack, and not as John nor Doc, nor Dr. La Tourrette. Now, " why do I use the name Jack when I go incognito? " What are the different reactions to a " Jack " , versus a " John " , versus a " Doc " , versus a " Dr. La Tourrette " ? > That discrepancy may reduce the trust impact of your > letter. Notice the letter-head, and the purpose of the letter-head. Notice the strategies being used. > If this was deliberate, then sorry to bother you. I normally go into that place dressed real casual, tatoos showing, blab, blab, blab, and they had no clue to who I am, nor what I do... In other words they thought I was just another carpet layer or truck driver, a red neck blue collar worker having lunch with my daughter. In other words that bitchy waitress had no clue who she was attempting to stomp on, nor the immediate repercussions that would follow. That tactic of concealment keeps me from being bothered by all the ones that are curious, blab, blab, blab. SO, I needed to first, make them aware that I was someone NOT to be ignored. And, second, to be listened to... And, thirdly, that there would be possible negative consequences " if " steps on their part to " fix " the problem were not addressed at once. Today I went in wearing a sport jacket, my Master Mason's ring, my 32nd degree Scottish Rite ring, a pleasant smile on my face AFTER TRIGGERING THE CAREBEARHEART CIRCUIT, and an 18k gold Rolex on my right wrist. I even combed my hair. So, what do you think happened to the " lady Gestapo " ? Ps. for those that don't know what Paddy and I are talking about, be sure and read the file I just uploaded today. > Blessings, > > Paddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
