Just goes to show we all read different things into the same words!!! In any case... I loved their food.

IG
IG makes such a good point and this is a great example.

My first thought was that there were some secrets (skeletons in the closet) that the owner did not want revealed by the staff. Or maybe there were a few disgruntled workers that would maliciously bad mouth the place to perspective buyers, It sure wouldn't be a secret from the employees who could easily pick up the listing booklet or who read this here Winnie forum.

I did think it was a peculiar statement to make in an ad and figured there must be a story behind that warning.

IMO Waterbaby's explanation does seem to make the most sense to me but I never would have thought of it.

Wonder how many meanings can we come up with for, "Have a great day" (don't answer that - just have a great day)
