No need to hide my idenity

First and foremost I am just going to assume who m'lady is and say I am truly sorry for any awful experience you may have had at The Waypost! Clearly something else may be going on in order for you to bash both the owner and "she", which may or may not be me, Carrie! It is EXTREMELY rare "WE" or me made your sandwich wrong! I really wish you would of addressed it properly and let us know your meal was wrong! I also try my hardest to make everyone welcome and under no means am a "BARISTA" snob! We all have bad days, I think? Also we have been here since 2006, you clearly must not take much notice of your hood since you wrote this in 2008! Little Edie's Five and Dime is a great shop! That may be one thing we have in common. Making drinks, food, and running 3 blocks away to get ice can be a long day but I try and do it with a smile! Sorry you are so mean. and thanks for the criticism! It makes me remember one rule! The customer isn't always right!

The Waypost

My Waypost experience is seriously different than the "m'lady" review. I live in the Boise-Elliot neighborhood. I've been going to the Waypost for over a year. There are at least three or four people who work there. They all have always been helpful and down-to-earth with me, as well as other clientele I see served when I'm there.

Also, I've even seen the owner handle a couple situations involving drunk guys needing to be asked to leave during a show; and I have to say, I've never seen 86ing happen anywhere else with that sort of finesse.

Most of all, The Waypost spotlights music you don't see much elsewhere, and in a way you just don't see much elsewhere either.

In their new back area, I've already been wowed over intimate shows by oldschool portland "rockstars", as well as intrigued by cool out-of-nowhere upstarts. And, I can imagine The Waypost wearing this groove further, now that the Towne Lounge is closing. They also sometimes have curious and educational non-musical presentations.

The Waypost is cool. I like the simple grill-pressed croissant with ham and cheese, and a cold beer, while I puruse their funky books and other odds and ends.

darn!

I really wanted to like this cute new little place. It's right down the street from my house/work and it has a nice homey atmosphere unlike all of the froo-fee yuppy crap going up all over NE. That said, I find the owner to be sort of like a deaf-mute that gives you the "deer in headlights" look when you try to order or talk to him and the other employee is just plain rude and acts as though she's doing you a grand favor to get some ice or make your sandwich. 2 of 3 times I ordered a sandwich, they forgot something which wouldn't have been a big deal if they hadn't made me write the order myself for them to read. On a happy note, little edie's vintage shop next door is my new favorite shop! bye..............

What You Think:

Yes, these CAPTCHAs suck, but they are a necessary evil. Typing the words you see below proves you are a human.

Before hitting that submit button, we highly suggest you read the following guidelines:

  1. Owners/Managers/Employees: Do not shill for yourself or bad mouth competitors because we WILL catch you. We have been known to "out" repeat violators. Simply identify yourself as the owner/employee/manager to address our users's complaints. Trust us, it works to do it that way. It is great PR, our users love it, we love it, and your business will love it.

  2. ALL CAPS does not get get your point across, but it does make you look completely stupid. The button on your keyboard is clearly labeled CapsLock. Move your pinky 5/16ths of an inch and turn it off.

  3. Mockery is cool, libel isn't. Learn the difference. Naming names in a negative or totally false review? You forfeit your right to privacy and will be named if any legal issues arise.

  4. Where you 86ed for being a complete douchebag? Are you the perpetually unsatisfied bitch? The bartender's psycho ex? Are you copy & pasting the same review from/to Yelp, Citysearch, etc? Then you undermine the value of user reviews. Don't waste your time posting.

  5. The 1st Amendment covers your right to say what ever you want and our right to delete it off our server.
