I wasnt going to post a comment just a one star rating out of respect but apparently the one star sparked the owner to threaten me publicly. That basically shows anyone wanting to work for you what type of people you really are. You really showed your true colors this time. Funny how all your "stellar" reviews all came in at the exact same time saying the exact same thing. Wouldnt suprise me a bit to learn you begged your employees to go on google and rate you 5 stars. It really is a shame the way you treat people.
