I have seen many people leave managerial jobs to open their own business because they always think they can do it better. IE-A manager leaving a Harley shop to open their own business, because they always think they can do it better.

Like I said this owner probably has been taken by surprise by all the unknown business tasks, and is letting his product, service, and managment skills go by the wayside.

MR, I find it interesting that in your first post on this you say "Jinxiee is the owner", I don't know if he/she is or is not, but I do know Mike and Pattie the "owners". Do you know something we don't?? I have worked for Mike when he was the manager of the Gringo,who was also the manager of Rita's before it was the Gringo which before Rita's was the manager of Nothing Fancy, and had been their for 19 years before leaving,by his choice might I say, to persue his own slice of life. I know he has at least 19 years expierience as a "manager". Now I don't know about you but anyone who has that much time in the field and had been kept on by not 1 but 3 owners must have been doing something right. He was the one who did the payroll,advertizing and was involved but not totally for the accounting. I also believe he has the character not to come on and pretend to be someone he is not, knowing him as I do, he would come here as the "owner" and try to address the issue's because he was and I'm sure continues to be a smart businessman. Now not to take any type of side on this, try this..maybe just maybe, Jinxiee is a very passionate patron/person who uses to many of these !!!! I questioned A4D's first post on this because the responce she got didn't sound like it would come from him, she replied and that was that. Not everyone is going to have a good expierience everywhere.
But to get back to the point...do you know something we don't ?
