I'm interested in how local businesses receive feedback and deal with customer service. For example, if your business had 100 email complaints, how would you resolve those issues?
If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I can even drop by your location to discuss in person for 5 minutes.

I'm developing a customer service/feedback site. It's not another review site like yelp. And yes it's going to be a free site. I'm not selling anything. I'm just conducting a survey for my application.

Thank you,
Nick

Here are my comments:

# 5,039:
I am already sick with a chronic illness, and I have spent the worst few months of my life just trying to survive. Research shows that pesticides cause cancer and other chronic illnesses in adults and children. I strongly oppose the use of cancer-causing chemicals, especially without my consent.

Say NO to Bay Area Aerial Fumigation Without Consent!

Starting as early as June, airplanes will begin spraying pesticides untested for human health safety over Bay Area cities to eradicate the Light Brown Apple Moth. Monterey and Santa Cruz counties have already been sprayed once.

Stop the planes before they spray again and spread to other Bay Area counties.

PLEASE spread the word! Tell your neighbors about the threat and urge them to sign this petition!
Hi Pamela,

The SF Chronicle just announced that a pesticide untested for human health safety will be sprayed over our Bay Area homes this summer in an attempt to eradicate the Light Brown Apple Moth. (Read the article)

Already, Santa Cruz and Monterey counties have been sprayed and hundreds of citizens have reported health problems. Please tell your neighbors to sign this petition protesting the aerial fumigation of Bay Area residents.

Truly horrifying is that, according to StopTheSpray.org, the pesticides currently used (CheckMate OLR-F and LBAM-F) have only undergone short-term tests on rats and rabbits. The manufacturer states, "Long-term studies on the active ingredients have not been done, however, no adverse effects expected."

Although the pesticide label reads, "Harmful if inhaled. Avoid breathing vapor or spray mist," the Mercury News reported that people were out walking in Santa Cruz when the planes started spraying.

Government agencies approving the plan admit that the pesticide could pose a threat to some people, stating "not all health effects can be predicted and because the general population includes susceptible (people), such as children, the elderly and those with chronic diseases, we cannot provide a definitive cause for their symptoms [experienced after the spraying in Santa Cruz and Monterey]."

Sprayings over San Francisco are expected to begin Aug. 1 and other areas to be sprayed as early as June include Monterey and Santa Cruz counties, and Daly City, Colma, Oakland, Piedmont, Emeryville, Albany, El Cerrito, El Sobrante, Tiburon and Belvedere.

Stop the government from spraying citizens with pesticides without consent! Sign this petition and be sure to tell your friends:http://go.care2.com/e/.ah9/txYl/o3c4

Highlights in Campbell:
  • Westmont Ave. and Crockett Ave.
    Nothing extravagant, but very nicely decorated yard and house

  • Bucknall Ave and Christopher Ave.
    Two houses decorated as one. Lots of fun stuff in the yard and roofs.

  • 585 Nido Dr.
    Debi Phelp's memorial display to her aunt. Park the car and go into the courtyard to see more. Please pitch in and donate to Debi to help her cover costs if you can.
Highlights in Los Gatos:
  • Fantasy of Lights
    This kinda qualifies for both highlight and lowlight. Due to a restrictive traffic policy, we weren't able to get in! We waited for over 30 minutes and only moved 5 car lengths toward the gate. Their display looks beefed up from past years, but you'll have to site in traffic forever to get in.
Highlights in Downtown San Jose:
  • Christmas in the Park
    I feel silly for listing this, but I'm surprised each year how many people who were born in the South Bay had never been to Christmas in the Park. It's better than ever. GO!
Highlights in Willow Glen:
  • Coe and Atlanta Ave
    Loop of decorated houses south of Downtown SJ

  • Palm Haven and Clintonia Ave.
    Decorated upscale are of Willow Glen. We didn't get to see this part, but it came recommended by jaqrabt.

  • 1195 Minnesota Ave
    This one seems to get turned off early, so see it before 10pm. Total mayhem in the yard from afar that ends up being a bunch of topiaries shaped like animals with lights wrapped around them.
Highlights in the Cambrian Area (SJ):
  • 2740 Lantz Ave
    The Haverson's Display in the Cambrian area near the Dry Creek neighborhood. AWESOME display and Mrs. Haverson is the most friendly and funny character. She ran after our bus right as we were about to leave and came aboard to wish all a Merry Christmas and give us all candy canes. Her house was the cover display for the Home section of the Mercury News Home section on 12/10/04.
More Highlights in Campbell
  • Old Orchard Dr. to Waldo Dr.
    Half circle loop of houses with assorted displays directly off of Wincester Ave. Some of the displays are partially visible from San Tomas Expwy. across the recharging ponds at Budd Ave. and San Tomas Expwy.

Street: 75 S. San Tomas Aquino Rd. #1
City: Campbell
Phone: 408.866.1324
Type of Cusine: Japanese
Description: The Sushi Zone is a casual fusion style Japanese restaurant in
both food and ambience. Not just a Sushi restaurant, the Sushi
Zone's fare includes Udon dishes, Bento boxes, and a special
Lunch and Dinner menu.

Review Title: Beautiful, but Boring Unless You Want Sashimi
Overall Score: 7
(Overall Satisfaction: 6, Value: 8, Quality of Food: 6, Quality of Service: 8, )

My Opinion:
I'll have to try this place again. I was so ready to love it right from the start especially with it's fusion of traditional Sushi bar interiors with a much cheerier brightly lit open space design with lots of windows. Then I met our upbeat and excitable waitress and I was ready to declare this place a favorite.

Well, the experience ran on high all the way until the exact section that I actually had a bite of the sushi. It even looked gorgeous just as the review from the Metro posted on the window advertised. The ingredients were even very fresh and tender with the exception of the tempura in the roll which was curiously limp like it had been refrigerated all day. I get the feeling that the tempura being stale was an unusual occurrence, so i won't hold it against them, but it was just as well because the roll was kinda bland.

It's a shame to me that a place that had put so much attention into the physical restaurant experience couldn't come up with a more imaginative menu of rolls. If you're the kind of person who loves Sashimi or prefers less complex Sushi rolls, this place is perfect for you. It's clean, pleasant, courteous, and inexpensive.
