Well yes, YOU certainly imply criticism in your first post.

Then you contradict yourself, implying along the way that we shouldn't have been been thinking in this direction to begin with, even though YOU are the one who pointed the discussion in this direction.

You don't seem to be asking but instead demanding an answer to your question. The only one who knows for sure is the person who put the sign up. Maybe it was the same person who got blown off about getting their license. Since most of us aren't the one who put it up we can only speculate, just like you have done. Also since many of us seem to have had no problems at Skelley's we can state that as well. You seem to be annoyed that people get to state their good experiences and talk about improvements that have been made. This IS a discussion and we get to give our opinions about both bad and good.

We didn't even know that you had actually been a witness to a problem until your third post. An eye witness of a problem has much more credibility than speculative musings which was all that was in your first post and what people responded to. Since your opening post gave only speculation, people responded with their experiences and so far no one else has experienced similar problems. You seem frustrated by that. I am relieved.

Yelling at customers is never good and I hope for everyone's sake it was an isolated incident. As far as we know this could have been the only time it has ever happened. If it becomes a pattern of behavior it will become obvious after a while and people WILL start to do business elsewhere. I'm willing to wait and see. Other's can do as they choose.
