I was not going to post but i must. I am not from NY nor do i ever goto fishtown, nor do i plan to. And dont read to hard into this post cause i know how annyoed most of you are. I deal with people all the time there is always 3 sides to a story. The two peoples story and then somewhere in between is the truth. I am not saying that it did not happen, but who really knows the real truth of what was exactly said. I can sorta understand that she didnt want anyone to sell anything in front of her store (her father's store). I am sure that she went around it the wrong way in asking people to not do deals right by the store. I am sure that she could have done it a little more diplomatically. I understand that she really dosent own the sidewalk, but doing business in front of the store can have a feeling of disrespect to the owner. Then when she asks someone to leave in an unprofessional way then both sides get heated and then words are exchanged. I have never met her nor the people that are involved, so i cannot make a comment on their personalities.
I think that Cathy should just swallow her pride in this situation and apologize for whatever was said. If she cared about her business she would do the right thing. But then if she did apologize, i dont think that it should be a big deal that if you are going to make a trade or sale go down away from the store a little bit. That would only show a little respect for a business.
I did not post in this thread to get anyone mad at me. I am neutral in this situation. Some people cannot control themselves and i am not defending anything that she said.
Hopefully people dont drop the axe on me :banghead:
