@ 12:30PM Wednesday December 13th.
I, a local business owner walks into Egg Smart and informs the staff that there are a couple small but slippery patches of black ice just out front of their establishment. The cook seems to care. The shorter black haired lady working there doesn't show me much concern or appreciation at all.
I tell her, "I believe legally it's EggSmart's responsibility so you should probably take care of that." I exit the establishment. I hear her call out to me on the street "What ice are you talking about?" She's standing at the door looking down at the very patches that exist. I point it out. She flips her palm up "Well we do have salt down so there's nothing much we can do about it." I say "Don't you care if some old lady comes by and slips and falls?" "She says. I'm just inquiring. No need to be rude." I turn to leave as she continues "You come in and start complaining at me..." I can't hear the rest because I'm crossing the street.
If I were the owner I'd be ashamed and appalled and would fire this person for displaying such apathy and disrespect to someone who took the time to come in to offer help. I have nothing to gain from "complaining" and the fact that she views this as a complaint says a lot. I actually cared that someone may slip and fall and hurt themselves, so I decided to do something about it. This server felt differently I suppose. I don't care to be served by people who genuinely show no care of concern for their fellow citizens and neighbours.
