I’m writing to inform you that I had a negative bad experience at your location in Columbus,
New Jersey on August 4. My receipt number is 512, and the person who handled my order was
Alex.
First of all, I recognize that you, as the reader of this letter, are not responsible for my bad
experience, but I am still upset about the situation.
I went to the drive through and ordered seven meals with no pickles. When I received my order,
I checked that all of the sandwiches and fries were in the bag paid and drove away. When I got
home, 1 realized my number seven had pickles on it. I’m allergic to pickles, and I didn’t want to
waste the sandwich, so I drove back to the drive through to explain the situation and get it fixed.
I feel very disappointed with this interaction, as I usually enjoy my experiences at your
restaurant. To fix this situation, I would like a coupon for a free meal of my choice. I think an
apology from Alex is also appropriate.
Please email me back at jkorkell@gmail.com. I would like this situation to be resolved so I can
continue to be a loyal Big Meal’s patron.
Best regards,
Jim Korkell

Some years ago, my husband and I went to stay with our friend, John, at a ‘pousada’ (guest house) he
had opened in Paraty, a small town in Brazil. John was going to have his 30th birthday after we left
and to celebrate this event, we told him we would like to take him out somewhere special for a meal.
He said he knew just the place and duly made all the arrangements.
On the date set, we parked and suddenly Senhor Roberto, the owner of the restaurant, appeared out of
the darkness clutching a candle in a jam jar. He led us up the hillside into the darkness along a well lit,
but steep, winding path which seemed to fall away. We had no idea where we were going and held
each others’ hands. We suddenly realized the restaurant was above us and as we arrived, we were
introduced to Senhor Roberto’s wife and daughter, who stood shyly in the makeshift kitchen waiting
to serve the food.
The restaurant itself was no less magical than the trip up, with two small tables set with banana leaves
for place mats and an arrangement of fabulous tropical flowers. It quickly became apparent that we
were the only guests and would be served dishes from food bought fresh at market and selected by the
family, so after chatting briefly, Senhor Roberto served the first course, which was some kind of
Brazilian river fish served with fried banana. More delights followed and the main course and high
point of the meal was ‘Bobo de camarao’, a dish of prawns served inside a baked pumpkin.

and prepared the meal with a love of their local produce.
