Why is Furillo’s so mean?

Furillo’s, on 10th and Kerlin, is a historic part of the Chester steak and hoagie scene. They make a good sandwich, but I’ll have to pass on them for good.

Since 7th Street Market opened on 7th and Tilghman, those rare times I buy a steak or hoagie are usually from them. Since Furillo’s is so close to home, I may stop in there a couple times a year, but I’ve never been a regular customer. 

When I was doing the Chester Spotlight monthly, they always refused to purchase advertising, but they don’t advertise in any paper. However, because of the traffic they generate, I always included them as a place to leave some papers when new issues came out.

I dropped off a few papers today, and received a chilly reception.

First, the lady did not speak after I said hello twice. After dropping the papers on the counter and giving her one, she said in a nasty tone, “Oh, so you’re leaving those papers again?”

I smiled and told her that it was a special edition.

In the same tone, she said, “I hope there are no misspelled words.”

Now, why did she have to go there? 

For a business that never spent one dime in advertising, she has no right to talk to me like that. 

I simply picked up the papers I had left for her customers, and walked out -- never to go back in there again.

Isn’t this the same store that put a sign on their door -- ‘No Hoodies Allowed’.

Y’all can eat there if you want. I’m done.

p.s. I better do spellcheck before I submit this post.
