They said oh just a piece of cardboard on the floor.
When the cardboard was actually placed there because there was water and then left on the floor for however long because the floor was slippery?
Well that's 1 big mark as it is. Even more so if it was damp.
They wouldn't have got a 5 star with that. Even if the paperwork was perfect.
'Staff have had refresher training' - indicates staff were not trained.
'we have enquired about cleaning methods' - after how long being open have you enquired for the best way to clean the floor of a catering establishment.
New safety procedures and cross checks implicated - indicates no safety procedures or cross checks were taking place (I work in this industry and this is as simple as a chart on the wall that checks off cleaning, like the ones you see in pub toilets etc)
While I don't have sympathy for them can understand them being upset they got a 1* sInCE tHeY R s0o00 pOPuLarRR hunz.
Honesty post would have been enough just to address it:
We messed up- here we are raising awareness for other businesses and assuring you we are a clean premises who will do what's needed to get up to standard. THEN I would have continued to purchase / follow etc.
But to make all the excuses like only cos there was water lol it was slipy he he lol.
and acting cocky about warning off the paper/council to not draw negative attention to them OR ELSE they'll repost the email to their fans for a backlash. Just wow.
Grow up.
Also gloating having lost weight to a size 6 and celebrating that small victory to impressionable young followers/staff they employ (in their teens) is a no from me.
