We have a giant very tense negotiation going on here today. We ordered a very fancy catered lunch for them.

Posted by Andie Mar 22 '18, 09:25

It was supposed to be here at 11:45. They just asked me to call to check on it. And, "They're running a bit behind, it should be there before 1pm." That's not the same as 11:45.

They weren't really that apologetic. Jerks.

(please note, i saw the bill, they are charging us $340 for 10 people. Plus delivery.)

        no food business is going to piss away potential future business, especially business catering..... - groiny Mar 22, 09:37 5
        
        But there are also times you know you effed up too bad. From Andie's initial IM, I think they are already there. -- nm - Spawn Mar 22, 09:38 4
        
        They are in our regular roster of caterers, but they are off the list. -- nm - Andie Mar 22, 09:40 3
        
        now, burn their place of business to the ground -- nm - Beaker Mar 22, 09:44 1
        
        Yeah, I'd go nuclear. All-out assault on social media. Make them pay. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 22, 09:47
        
        there is where you give someone the job of figuring out how much $ you spent with them in the last year.... - groiny Mar 22, 09:42
