As I've said on here before, I've worked for a corporation where paper work was loaded on my desk. I have two years of college experience in the business department so it is another thing on my side, imo.

I also doubt the validity of this claim since I know for a fact many people have stopped going to VD and started going to Kings and other places and know many people are looking forward to John's restaurant opening.

Yes, agreed with all above. I have not set foot in Valley Dairy since I quit, and from what I hear now, business is down, but it always was down when I was there. From what I hear, the new manager is a real ass (that is what I hear) and the service has gotten really bad. I have friends who used to be regulars in there now they refuse to go into the place. I was worried about business when John and Terry left, now, I hope it all goes to them. And as for bashing Terry, IMO, she may have acted like a know it all, but she is an excellent waitress, and during the lunch rush, her section was always the first to fill. And, John and Terry were very well liked by the customers and most all employees. So please Z, don't spout off about stuff you know nothing about.
