Perception is one thing and factual is another, how do you decide between the two. For example, a person may be a retired CPA and is answering a question about tax's. Perception or factual? A retired doctor gives you some advice on a simple medical issue, perception or factual? In my own case, I have spent my entire adult life in the bar & restaurant business but, when I answer a question pertaining to that business, I get bombarded with perception from folks that have never been in the business. Consequently, I do not ever respond to restaurant threads (anymore). I will give you just one example, then you decide. Someone on this thread said "I never read any complaints about Toojays" I personally go to Toojays all the time but, I will never order my personal favorite, pastrami on rye. In New York where I was born. Toojays would last about a week before going out of business. Why you ask? Sandwiches in NY are piled high wth your chosen meat sliced thin and I mean piled on. In Toojays, they slice the meat then roll it up so that it gives the appearance of being piled high. The front of the sandwich looks good but, the back is empty. BOO, bad sandwich. Everything else that I have eaten at Toojays is good and service is good. I expect to be attacked by all of the Toojay fans out there but, please remember, I go there all the time. My point being, are my comments, Perception or fact? I am prepared to duck!!!!!!
