Jeff,
I’m new to your site.
Just read this review and can’t believe what a dope the owner must be.

Gary:
You couldn’t be more wrong.
The store closes at 3pm.
The owner has plenty of time in his “busy” day to get in touch with Jeff.
All I know is if I’m buttering a bagel and my worker tells me that some guy is on the phone and he is a writer and needs some info on the store for his article, I either stop buttering that bagel and get on that phone or I keep buttering and tell her to get the guy’s number and I’ll call him back. I dont tell her that I’m too busy to talk to him and that he should call me back. This owner sounds like a real dope. Here a guy wants to write you up and you just tell the guy to get lost.
Not a smart move.

I’ll bet you that more people read about this bagel joint on Jeff’s site in the past few days than ate there during the whole month of July.
The owner sounds like a jerk to me.

Hey Gary
You are treating this bagel guy like he is the president of the united states. For god sakes it’s a freaking bagel store. The guy makes tuna salad for a living.
All I know if a guy calls and says he is doing a story on my business I get on that phone as fast as I can and give him all of the info he needs.
You are amazing. This is a freaking bagel store believe me he could have handled the call and buttered that bagel all at the sme time.

Wrong wrong wrong.
The owner should have gotten on the phone or at least told the girl to get Jeff’s number for a call back. The guy doing the solid shouldn’t have to chase the other guy down,

The man was told “jeffeats” was on the phone to ask some questions to add to a favorable review and he did not come running.

Did you ever think the young lady answering the phone and or the owner said to themselves “who the f–k is jeffeats? Well, I do!

Do you think the owner was right to continue conducting his business instead of taking a call from someone he probably never heard of? Well, I do!

Do you think a businessman should be more concerned with his operation rather than taking an unsolicited call from a food blogger he probably never heard of? Well, I do!

The right thing for Jeff to have done would have been to leave a business card with the young lady,tell her to have the owner check Jeff’s blog, and have her tell him that Jeffeats would like to write a favorable review and to please have the owner call Jeff ,if he is interested , so that he could give Jeff some details about his operation.

It’s called respect for the small business owner who doesn’t seem to have enough hours in his day!!
