Bogie's in Defuniak Springs appalling (merged owner's reply)

Dead horse. Really dead. Pretty much glue and gelatin products by now, with the good parts hitting the dinner table in France.

1. No excuse! 2. Still, no excuse! 3. OK, so how long does he need to offer a sincere apology and personally email or pm, Cork? 4. "#3 on a google search is probably heartbreaking to a local business owner". Well it should be, but, I doubt it!

Who cares? Get over it already. It has nothing to do with anyone, but Cork and the owner. It's not our job to police how the guy handles the situation. No need to take it on yourself to continually beat the guy into the ground over it. This may be the dumbest thread I've seen on Sowal yet.

Yeah, the guy obviously has mishandled the situation. I wouldn't say that Cork handled the manner in the best possible way either by blasting it to every media publication possible. Yet, that's how the two chose to handle it so good enough.

Mr. Bogey, I'm begging you to please get on here and grovel to the Sowallers so they will quit posting in this thread! ;-)

Ha, my thoughts exactly

Hopefully they're not serving that horse at Bogeys!

I do think that this thread originally had well-earned criticism and sound advice for the owner, but quickly deteriorated into entertainment and ranting by a few that dragged the whole thread down the tubes. These types of threads can be productive- if you look at some of the other restaurant threads, there has been constructive back-and-forth with the owners and management. But the majority of the posts here have been childish and irrelevant.

Ugh, this thread has just gotten so putrid. The remaining third of these posts are as hurtful and as damaging as they can possibly be. Good grief. There seems to be no self-discipline here.

Just might be, the best thing that you've offered in this thread, Josh!

Why do you feel entitled to an apology of any sort?

 

[Arkiehawg]

The funny thing is that those moaning about the thread still having life, continue to post on it.

If you want to have it die, DON"T POST! duh....

After some consideration about my original posting, and some advice from my better half, I have decided to retract my original post.

I was responding as anyone would have done who is being talked about negatively in a public forum, I was defending myself and my restaurant and explaining our side of the story. Perhaps a public forum such as this isn?t the best place for that. As some of you have said, a simple ?we?re sorry? would have sufficed instead of a two-page version with more info than needed.

After reading some of your reply posts (I only got through the first page, I will try and read more once the holidays are over) and re-reading mine I do agree that it did come off as somewhat harsh, I didn?t intend to ?Corky bash? if that?s the way it was perceived I do apologize for that, I was simply defending us from what seemed like a verbal attack, and wanted to try and set the record straight.

Again, I would like to apologize to Corky and her party that dined at my restaurant for the bad experience that they had. We did offer to pick up the tab for their dinners, which we did, and they were welcome to stay and eat, but they declined.

Sir, Thank you on my behalf I will say that you have gained my interest again as a future customer! Thats acceptable to me. I hope that the rest of us that felt strong about your 1st response will open the door and say that yup we all make mistakes and lets lend a hand in helping one learn from them. Again, Mr.Harding I will be in your restaurant after the 1st and surely look forward to an excellent meal. Happy New Year!
