Mr. Kissoon should think twice before repeating these comments/accusations

May 23, 2013 Letters

 

Dear Editor,
I wish to draw your attention to a column written by Mr. Freddie Kissoon which appeared in your newspaper on May 21, 2013. I believe Mr. Kissoon has a role to play in our national discourse and is a relentless fighter for the oppressed.
In his column, Mr. Kissoon suggests that the staff at Mario’s didn’t have name tags. This isn’t true! The Supervisor in question took off her name tag because of Mr. Kissoon’s aggressive behavior.
Mr. Kissoon also doesn’t state that all of the information he requested and the refund were given to him by Ms Dhara Cumberbatch, the Senior Manager of Operations. Further, I have asked the Customer Service Manager to contact Mr. Kissoon to offer a further refund plus a free pizza. At Mario’s, we sometimes make mistakes which we readily acknowledge and try to correct.
All of my communications training tells me I should end this letter now but I need to address the “most secretive fast food outlet in the world” comment. Sometime ago, in one of his columns Mr. Kissoon spoke about government officials at the opening of Mario’s. This was an amusing fabrication as there was never an official opening of Mario’s.
Mr. Kissoon, during his recent visit, also accused Mario’s of pushing drugs and money laundering. This is why he describes Mario’s as secretive. He further threatened to have us investigated. I am in shock since I never would have guessed that Mr. Kissoon has such serious contacts in the government to initiate those types of investigations.
For the moment, I will ignore these comments/accusations. They must be the result of fatigue from years of activism or an attempt to bully the Mario’s staff. However, please advise Mr. Kissoon to think twice before repeating them.
Finally, since I am currently traveling please give Mr. Kissoon my e-mail address. I am available to remove the veil of secrecy and answer all questions he might have. I will not be responding to any further comments on this issue from Mr. Kissoon.
