It’s interesting that i see pads, and other safety devices all around the trampoline area. Is it because the business is required to have all that? Isn’t it a right of the business owner to simply put up a sign that says “we are not responsible for any injuries”? Isn’t it a right of the business owner to do whatever they want? And in this case of protective equipment... maybe the business owner chose pads over blood and broken bones, dislocated joints, dead people, etc.
So the business owner, did what they wanted to protect at least themselves, and possibly customers, for return business. After all, if the customer ends up broken or dead, they can’t come back.
Probably good decision making for continued money making.
What if a customer came in, with something dangerous attached to their clothing? Something they didn’t even know they had, because it is invisible. Attached at some point on their clothing that it wouldn’t hurt that customer... but it could do damage to other customers jumping nearby, and it could damage the equipment inside the business.
I assume the business owner would want to take precautions. I’m sure there is a cursory inspection of everyone coming in, take everything out of pockets, nothing sharp, release forms to sign, etc.
What if the damage from this object was not immediate? What if it took 2 to 14 days to start appearing? Customers and staff who were there during the same period, equipment that came in close contact to the object now passing that damage on to other customers and staff.
It seems reasonable that the business owner would want to protect themselves, their customers, and their business from this unseen danger. Not because they are afraid. Not because someone read something somewhere about civil rights, and that foolishness spread through a large, ignorant segment of the local community. Not because they like to jump on political bandwagons, regardless of reality. It would be a good business decision to simply ask its customers and staff to take a simple precaution to keep everyone safe.
Look, there are safety measures all over the place. If a customer comes in and says “i have the right to jump on the trampoline without being impeded by all that ridiculous safety equipment...” Does the business owner remove the pads? Opening up the high likelihood that someone gets hurt? Probably multiple someones? Or does the business owner inform the customer that the pads will stay, and they are welcome to jump with the pads, or not jump at all, but the safety equipment remains?? (I’m guessing this last one.)
Or, maybe the business owner says, ok, for you we remove all safety equipment, and you pay $500,000 up front for damages to yourself, other customers, future business, preparation time to remove the safety equipment, time and effort to notify all the other customers that they are now in danger, clean up of blood and guts after the massacre, medical fees of any employees who got hurt removing, cleaning, reinstalling the safety equipment, time to reinstall the safety equipment, rental of any other special equipment to be used by customers and staff who don’t want to get hurt.
I mean... the business owner would certainly be within their rights... to demand that payment ahead of time.
I don’t wish you ill. I wish you would do the Christian thing, and “consider others as better than yourself.” Philippians 2:3 and just put on the mask. I do hope you get billed for the excess safety measures, that insurance surely will not cover. Honestly, you should have been charged at least $10,000 up front, before they even gave you the appointment.
You know, laws are behavioral control measures, right? If you break them, there are consequences. Just like natural law for viruses. If you choose to not protect yourself and others, the virus spreads. Interesting the picking and choosing of which laws you think don’t take away your “rights”, which are perfectly fine to control your behavior... and which laws you actually have no control over, but simple-mindedly choose to thwart, as a...
Read morePunishing a 6yr old and a 2yr old because of my constructive review listed below?? That is unbelievable and spiteful. And stop posting false information about me. That is called libel and warrants legal action. You should know that. Look it up. No one verbally attacked you or family members and I barely spoke to any team member. Where did that come from? Name the team members. Show me footage. Everyone from our support group was there. I am a very quiet person, too. There is absolutely no proof of that. I do, however, have proof of how unprofessional you were when handling my original concern. You apologized to me for someone being rude to me (and of course, you have removed that apology). I have left my original review up as proof that I am not uncivilized like you are portraying me to be because I simply corrected you. My concerns were addressed to you by written communication (public reviews and private messages) I have them saved. And by the way, by saying you "have decided to continue Chameleon Nights" is proof, along with the message you sent me privately, that you did decide to discontinue such nights because I addressed a legitimate concern with you. I am a very professional person. I do not plan on telling my other friends not to go. They are mature adults who can make those types of decisions on their own. I said we are never coming back so of course you are going to tell us not to. I have been validated once again. Why on Earth would we want to continue giving you our business? You were very rude and unprofessional. Please work on being less combative with customers who do not agree with your business practices (not honoring a price listed in the newspaper) and responding to customers rudely when they are giving you constructive suggestions. All of the proof is in my reviews and private messages. I really feel sorry for you.
After the very rude response in FB Messenger for me asking for more clarification of your response to this fair review (4/5 previously), for correcting info provided to me, and simply suggesting to republish correct price for Chameleon Night, a 1 is all that is deserved. We are taking our business to Just Jump. Much more professional. Toddler time there is great and they are planning on starting sensory nights. I am willing to pay them more than 12 just for being so nice, professional, and supportive.
We really enjoyed Chameleon Night. Both of our boys really enjoyed bouncing and jumping safely. They love the foam pits too. It is nice having time set aside so parents of children with ASD or sensory processing issues do not have to worry about other people not understanding our children. Only issue is that the discounted price of $10.00 listed in the Johnson City Press was not honored at the 2nd Chameleon Night. It was for the 1st Chameleon Night. Something was lost in translation. It was explained to me that since one parent can jump free, price will be 12 and that is was 12 last time. Our children have to be monitored closely though since most of them have ASD. We are mostly just keeping our eyes on them, not jumping for fun like regular customers do. We don't mind paying 2 dollars more if it means having a less crowded and noisy environment, but if someone says something is "X" price, then that price should be honored or the correct price needs to be republished in the Johnson City Press. And sometimes 2 bucks is a lot for those who have children who need therapy, etc that is not always covered by insurance and if it is, we have to pay a lot in co-pays. This is good publicity for Quantum Leap but someone dropped the ball when communicating information about this event. Also, when we questioned the pricing, a couple employees were just a little too rude when they responded. It was not unreasonable for us to question the pricing discrepancy. We plan on coming back as there is a lot to do and it is...
Read moreAccording to responses from the owners, the posts floating around on social media are false. See here’s the thing though, they are screenshots taken directly from your personal Facebook page. So you can delete the post, deactivate your social media accounts, but that doesn’t erase what was said. Now that that’s out of the way, I would like to address directly the responses from the owners. You say that you are following COVID guidelines, but you have 5 star reviews from other individuals commending your establishment for being a mask free zone and thanking you for it. That’s where I see inconsistencies. Either you enforce safety guidelines such as masks and social distancing, or you don’t. If you choose not to, that is YOUR choice as a business owner and yours alone. OTHER BUSINESSES ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO SERVICE YOU FOR NOT WEARING A MASK! It is NOT discrimination like you threatened to sue them for. If there is a sign on the door saying “no mask no entry” that is their policy and they have every right to enforce it without your baseless threats. Walmart has a sign that says “no shoes no shirt no service” and they are in their right to enforce that. If you do not understand that, it is due to your own ignorance and entitlement and, from what I’ve seen, a desperate desire to play the victim. You are not a victim. You are a bully. Plain and simple. Also, you were quick to encourage others to stand up for their beliefs, stand their ground and refuse to wear a mask, but here, in response to all these 1 star reviews, you are hiding behind lies and accusing the media of false reporting. Where is your boldness now? Is this how to stand your ground? From the outside looking in, it seems as though you want to spread ignorance, but when it comes time to face what you’ve done and what you’ve said, you are hiding like a coward. I truly hope that you learn something from all that has transpired. I doubt it because of how well you play the victim, but I really hope you do. However, until you publicly apologize, start taking the proper precautions and learn to RESPECT the health of everyone around you by following CDC guidelines, enforcing masks and social distancing, I nor anyone else owes you any...
