I have been going to Cody's on a fairly regular basis since the day it opened at Lake Sumter Landing. I have never seen anyone yelling at the servers or at the customers.

I was there this afternoon and the owner was laughing and joking around with the bartenders and the customers.

It is a great place to go to get a delicious bar-burger and a couple of ice-cold draft beers at a very reasonable price. The views are great and the staff is friendly.

Cody's does not have to worry about a few people saying they have never been there and never intend on going based on forum chat. They have a huge clientele and a great business.

Besides being wrong, it is poor management and leadership. When I was working, I would always be sure to "coach" an employee in private, and anger would never be part of it.

I'm there at least 5 days a week. Never heard anyone "yelling" at anyone. It's a great place.

And City Fireholic ! LOL :1rotfl:

I agree with you. We go there at least twice a week and I have never seen bad behavior by the manager or staff. We will continue to go as often as possible cause it's like "Cheers" to us....everybody knows your name!:beer3:

Let me try to understand this. Someone has never been to Cody's before so they really don't know first hand what has or has not occurred there and won't go in the future because they have read on TOTV that employees were being abused by management, yet their friends still play music there. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think the theory of "this kind of thing will stop if people stop going there" will be very affective in effecting change because people actually have to go there in order to stop going there.

Also if anyone refuses to patronize a business because they read on TOTV a not so glamorous comment or observation, I'm afraid their choices will be severely limited and they will be spending alot of time dining and shopping at home.

:clap2:

Once again, people, check out the person who sent in the rant of the first post. Chances are this posting was a SPOOF meaning it never happened.

Lots of angry people with an ax to grind will do such a childish thing. They think by posting a plausible sounding story that people will stop going to a business - like a couple on the forum said they would do.

If it is a person's first post and is a rant against a business - I tend not to believe it happened. It is very similar to another first time posting by someone recently about a waitress at Gator's telling them their 4 month old child should not watch FOX News and getting into a spiel about Islam. Never happened!!

Take the rants with a grain of salt.

So true.

Just read the recent posts. I have been going to Cody's a few times a week. This was the first bad experience. It is not a spoof or a raint. FYI It happened. The owner has no experience in customer service. I take it, my nor my friends business does not matter to him or what we experienced. Other customers saw it.

:BigApplause::agree:

A few times a week...........for how many weeks. So you must have observed this behavior many, many times, right?

Once again, people are attacking the poster, who was just sharing their experiences from their perspective. Sheesh.
