Subject: General Store Passages

I was taking a hiatus from teaching and had just injured my shoulder while working as a punch-list carpenter. I was in a familiar place emotionally, feeling at a dead end about my options for work. That was precisely the time when Mimi Sharpe asked me to be a guest chef at The General Store. Two weeks later we had negotiated my temp position into a full time job. If there ever existed a thing like serendipity or synchronicity or the unviverse giving you something that was wanted or needed….for me that job was it.

Hi y’all,

Since I was one of the complainers about the GSC I wanted to be sure to give a shout out to the new and improved customer service there.  I’ve had dinner there twice in the past month or so and met a friend for coffee, and all three visits have been nothing short of wonderful, the old General Store I used to love.

So thanks to all the GSC folks who are working on making Pittsboro a place we can all love.

My wife and I had a lovely evening at the General Store tonight (Thursday November 17th). We enjoyed straight up jazz by the Tony Galiani Band. The violinist is a genius! Carol-Ann had chicken marsala, and I had prime rib – yum. We shared chocolate chess pie – double yum.

Nice time,

Forrest

Subject: Vance and the GSC

As one of the public complainers I want to thank Vance for his chatlist post. It was very encouraging to know that if there is a problem there are mechanisms for reporting it, and I plan to come out at least once this week for breakfast or lunch, and to once again make the GSC one of my regular stops.

I think it was frustration that caused so many of us to be vocal on the board.  In the past when I tried to relay a concern to the wait staff it was not well received and I really didn’t know what else to do.

Subject: Its a good thing there is a Chatlist

If it wasn’t for the Chatham Chatlist, the GSC would not have known about the extent of dissatisfaction of its former customers.

The reality of it is, that when most customers experience  bad service or bad food either once or several times, they  just do not come back.   No complaints.    At the time when diners do have a compliant, who do they complain to and will the compliant get to the right party?

Subject: Thanks GSC!

Would like to thank Vance for sitting down with me last night to talk about issues I’ve experienced at the GSC.  I’m giving it another (several) try.

And the cobbler was delicious.
