I am sure that any mature adult understands that running a business is not easy. That you take great financial and personal risks. Especially in this economy and especially in the public sector. You are open to all sorts of criticisms. Sometimes employees cannot perform the specific tasks that they tell you they are capable of and may lash out in anger for their lack of skill. It is unfair to make libelous allegations anonymously on the internet. If there were true grievances they should be pursued through proper channels to bring about a remedy. The opening of any restaurant has a certain amount of attrition until the staff becomes cohesive. My apologies to the disgruntled former employees who choose this venue to air their complaints. Instead of using the internet to make an attempt to ruin my reputation I encourage them to forward their complaints to the proper authorities so that a civilized remedy may be realized. All I can do is turn the other cheek and wish them the best in their future endeavors.

Jesus what is wrong with you spineless morons?
If you got a beef with this chick, call her or go in and bitch, but taking pot shots here in this forum is pretty lame.
Besides, if you got fired you probably deserved it.

I have one question for you whiners, imagine if you were the manager or owner, would you put up with a worker with yours or your friends attitudes? With your money and investment on the line I would imagine the answer is a big ole fat NO!

Maybe grow up a little, wipe the snot dribbling down your nose, and possibly look beyond the nose on your own face for a change.

That is all.

So the interesting trend I am seeing is that nearly every one of the bogus or worthless claims and attacks are from Troy MI, likely the same IP.

So you got sick, what did the CDC and/or health department say when you called them?
Your a random customer right, and not a immature disgruntled employee, so how is it a random customer knows the name of an owner?
If the food was bad and she laughed, then why did she throw the plate at the cook?

Tell ya what Troy Mi poster, why don't you go back to your homework for your 9th grade class, and grow up a little.
If the owner fired you for being a moron, don't you suppose she would remember who you were, if so she could sue you (or your parents) for slander (no kidding). It wouldn't take much for this owner to track you down and have her lawyer start civil proceedings against you and/or your family.

Hmmm....I was thinking about trying this place out. Called the restaurant...very nice lady on the phone referred me to the internet. Read decent reviews. Then found this site.
What a bunch of disgruntled workers. My niece has worked for years in restaurants for all sorts of terrible employers and would never bash them like that in a public forum. Did you ever think of the livelihoods of the people who are still working there?
I'm definately going there after reading mean-spirited comments people are posting about the owner. I like to support businesses in my community.
Grow up. If you don't like your employer, get another job.

HA! HA! HA! ARE you assuming its me Kim??I really get a kick outta this! I wish I could take the credit...however I wouldnt "make up" a food poison story.I'd just tell people about my terrible experience with you!Oh yes...I read the reviews, and laugh at the funny, and Im sure, true things people write about you!!! I have better things to do with my time than to care about your investment! I am past that awful experience, and have been since I was finally compensated for the remainder of what u owed me and my first UE check!
You talk about immature? I have never seen you throw a plate at anyone...Yet,I wouldnt put it past you!!You are a woman with many issues, and too mentally unstable to run a successful restaurant.I was very proud to work for you, and Francis until I (and my co-workers) got a real dose of who you really were (no offense to Francis)
You have bad mouthed your employees (including ones currently working for you) your family (u know who), and your even customers.I witnessed you negatively label all of them! Deny it!Freedom of speech!!!Say what you want.. I dont care. Its your reputation! Sue??? for what??? Im sure you still know my phone number..Call me anytime!You know me email too...hypocrite-
You would laugh at someone getting sick on your food.Its too bad, I know you are not out there just to make money.You are a very talented chef,in the kitchen, but with people, you are not. You dont have enough compassion for your employees to care about their "livelihoods". If you did...I wouldnt be here typing on a Sunday evening.You just want to point fingers to someone else for your failing business...its just in your character.
Your response to those comments.... is all U, in a cracked up nutshell!!!
"Whiners, spineless morons,Boob ,(should wear a bra on yours!) deserving it"....The real you! I did call u bi-polar...to your face.Apparently a few people feel the same way!
Wasnt me KIM! SORRY TO BUST YOUR BUBBLE! I know how to spell "calamari" and even "Salmonella" U wouldn't think so, because of your demented perception of others, that I only have a 9th grade education?
I could write a book on what I have heard about you after I left....Yes, I was "disgruntled" but only because I ever let an awful person like you into my life!You fooled me bigtime, an many others as well...Take your freaking "Proper channels" and "remedy" your own "f"ing solution!Maybe you should take out an ad in the local paper apologizing to the employees that quit their jobs, paid babysitters,missed school, werent paid properly,were verbally & mentally abused, to come work for you at "Modern Food and Spirits"!
Maybe that will remedy your reputation?
You are soooo right, and so wonderful,and noble....Then why are you so defensive to these accusations? I can name several instances where you have been completely irrational, and out of control- Not to mention the level of hypocrisy.
You are the immature one and are the only one who is guilty of what you are, apparently, accusing me and others of.Please take a long look in the mirror.
So in closing "What the F" from Livonia
Good luck to you , and your business, I hope you will prosper and Cass lk will reopen...Maybe Waterford folks would enjoy eating there too?

Well the funny thing here is, in your convoluted attempt to express yourself and slander some restaurant, you have blindly clumped everyone in your rant.

I have no affiliation with this restaurant, the owners, the workers or anything else, I merely came across the ridicules immature and childish accusations being tossed around in this forum, and commented relative to that and that alone.

Nicole or whoever you are, understand that you are in a public forum and if you slander someone, you could be held accountable. Every IP address is logged, and making false accusations against a business, and the health of the products being supplied there, is considered slanderous.

If U are in no way affiliated...Than mind your own damn business! I am pissed off now and I made reference to those replies because I read them all! Look into my *ucking IP! It wasnt me...maybe Kim will give you a free lunch or something since U are so involved....U said "get a new job"? Well if U are no way affiliated, then U get a "life"

Funny...you are so smart to insinuate, as a third party.You talk just like Kim....like I previously stated. I find it hard to believe that someone who is not "affiliated" would give a crap-I didnt til I heard about all these postings...Maybe U should apologize to Modern and me,because as far as Im concerned, YOU pissed me off with the whole TRoy MI thing.Pretty coincidental? Im sureeee!
Why do U care if U live in Livonia anyway?????????

HAHA...now I am laughing.

Maybe "U" would appear more intelligent if you understood that "YOU" is the correct spelling not "U". Oh and stop typing like "YOU" are texting, "U" moron!

Now on to your next point, you said people should mind their own business, the thing is, if you put it in a public forum (i.e. this forum) then its open for discussion!

Next, you said I "talk just like the owner, referring to her by name, then you claim to have no affiliation to her or the business...hmmm interesting dontchathink?

You said its funny that someone that is not affiliated with this business would "give a crap", you claim to have no connection to this business, then go on to give a pretty big crap about it.

You seem to be a little confused Nicole, maybe your too busy being angry and trying to slander someone that likely fired you for being obnoxious, immature, and I am sure lazy too!

BTW I hear Panara is hiring, you should get a job there and move on, before your obsession makes you loco!

P.S. Maybe "what the F" is the other "bi-polar" personality of Kim? Makes it even funnier!
What do U do for a living?

"So the interesting trend I am seeing is that nearly every one of the bogus or worthless claims and attacks are from Livonia", likely the same IP."

Like I said ....Hypocrite!
give it up...No one cared about this stupid forum until U started your BS,which leads me to believe that you ARE AFFILIATED-
This forum was stared back on...sept 9????Its a new year and over 6 mos later, why give a shit now?
Pointing fingers to someone else for a failing business,shame shame....
Why do U keep persisting? Just ignore it and stop pissing people off...Drama Queen, or is it King?????
blahhhh blahhh blahhh I have a great job already..Thanks for the advice though! I hear Panera (not Panara...per your edification)is a great place to work for, more than I can say about the topic of this forum-

Ahh too easy, just look you up huh, and anyone is supposed to believe anything you have to say?

So Troy poster, what now?

You slandered this business over and over, and now you expect me or anyone else to believe that it wasn't you?
And I suppose you never left any reviews on Yahoo either?

You are a moron with a very low I.Q. and it shows each and every time you type something (wtf).

You keep on comparing me to the owner, so I guess its only fitting that I compare you to a retard that is incapable of separating fiction from truth (roflmfao).

I think you likely need to give it a rest before someone comes to your house in Troy, and sues your parents for slander, then you may get grounded from your HP Pavilion, and no more communication for you.

ttfn.
