A hair salon/spa located on upper Fort Street had a rudimentary sign in their window advertising 'recieving a free' service with the purchase of some type of acrylic nail offering....even if you are not able to practice appropriate everyday word usage and spelling, at least write advertisements and other professional signage in a Word document first so that the computer can act as a surrogate brain and underline or highlight your mistakes in red. Do I really want to be a patron of a business that offers to do things to my body for a lot of money when their advertising is handwritten with mispelled words? PROFESSIONALISM

The Salad Loop

The Salad Loop

• Located on Government Street. Directions are unnecessary as I would not want to assist anyone in finding this salad 'poop'
• Offering unsanitary salad buffet and other tasteless wastes
• Caters to the downtown stressed and depressed, black powered-suited, environmentally careless cloned 'workers'
• The so-called fresh salad offerings are limp and tasteless but the biggest downfall of this boring place was the tall stacks of large plastic environmentally UNfriendly take out tray packs and plastic 'cutlery'.

• Owners are clearly unconcerned about the wastes/throw outs going into our environment.
  
• This is yet another establishment feeding Earth Mother a constant intravenous of embalming chemicals.
• Regretfully, power-suited clones support these tasteless, cheap joints because it reflects their trashy lifestyle and attitudes....a rush-more, eat-me-dump-me society.

• I will not patronize and support, nor will I recommend a business that blatantly disregards the concept of recycling and Mother Earth just to make a buck. In fact, just walking in there and seeing the promotion of plastic made me lose my appetite.

• This 'loop' will not be a part of my frequent eating establishments!

Things/Behaviour NOT to Do In Public- Four

Things/Behaviour NOT to Do In Public- Three

• Men, keep your shirts on! I don't want to see your hairy chests or nipples or fat guts or your 'six-pack'. Have the decency and respect for women who are legally labelled 'indecent' if they went topless.
• When communicating and especially when doing any business transaction [i.e. exchange of money] get off your cell phone, remove head/earphones and remove sunglasses. If you are sharing a meal, beverage or communicating with friend, family, co-worker, acquaintance etc, stay off your cell phone! Do I also have to mention not to talk so loudly on your phone while on buses or other public places that someone else can hear your conversation? ...Not in theaters or restaurants or any other areas where other people are in close proximity and trying to enjoy their space without others intruding upon it.
• When someone addresses you or when someone says 'hello' or asks you a question, have the decency to respond in a clear, respectful manner.
• Do not walk in front of someone or cut them off. If it is unavoidable, say 'excuse me'.
• When you have been invited to share an event with someone or if someone has been very kind to you, send them a 'thank you' card in the mail...not an email, not a Facebook message, not an email....but an actual card of thanks.
• When shopping, do not walk in front of someone to retrieve those all so important material goods. Wait patiently until that person is finished shopping in that area and has moved down the aisle or further down the rack. Do not reach over their head to retrieve something off a higher shelf. I once had a frothing-mouthed shopper reach over my head in a flower/gift shop to grab a glass vase and when she turned it over to look for a price tag, all the water spilled out and on to my clothes. I guess I should be grateful it was just the water and not the vase hitting me on the head.
• When entering someone's home, remove your street shoes.
