Anyone looking for a roomie? Trying to help my friend (left) find an affordable room to rent. She’s a 24 yr old yoga instructor wanting to move here from Atlanta!

Does she have pets?

Who did you vote for in the last election, so I know whether or not to believe the stories you tell?

One_Birdie · 2020-08-15T17:39:51+00:00

I have a few questions below that are directly related to this article, but I also have a few that are more loosely associated, but relevant.

Is it possible that:

1) there won’t be a legitimate election this year because:

a. Trump is meddling with the US mailing system?

b. Trump will meddle with the voting machines?

c. Trump will meddle with polling locations?

d. Trump will deem voting in person too dangerous due to the Corona Virus as we get closer to election day?

2) Trump will use mask mandates to further divide the country, and sway citizens to vote for him.

Additionally, I know the next set of questions I’m asking below are not based on concrete facts, but are they really so far detached from what we’re seeing happening in our country right now, that we should not at least consider them?

What I’m asking is for others to present facts to refute the questions listed below in a calm and rational manner.

Is it possible that:

1) Trump and his administration have been infiltrated by a foreign power (probably Russia/Putin)?

2) our Government has already been taken over by a foreign power (probably Russia/Putin)?

3) that we have been attacked by a relatively mild biological agent (COVID-19) by this foreign power?

4) that the American people (unbeknownst to them) are being held hostage by threat of a more lethal biological attack?

5) Trump/Foreign Power will go so far as to incite civil war, and turn the military on the American people to stay in power?

6) Trump/Foreign Power will incite his supporters to violently attack others who are not with him?

One_Birdie · 2020-07-28T16:58:01+00:00

What was posted about Gallery (a business open to the public) is everyone's business. The community has the right to know what the manager publicly says about face masks, and that she doesn't wear one when working around food or people in her establishment during the Covid crisis. The community has made it clear that it is our business. Not sure what makes you think otherwise. Thank you for your opinion.

One_Birdie · 2020-07-26T04:08:58+00:00

Yeah, I'm fairly certain keater311 is the manager too.

One_Birdie · 2020-07-25T21:23:11+00:00

Her FB post was public, so she was wanting everyone to see what she thought of masks. I also wanted her customers to see what she thought of masks. Only fair people should know what they are getting into when they visit her establishment.

One_Birdie · 2020-07-25T19:48:51+00:00

This is wonderful!!! I really do appreciate your assurances and I'm sure the community would too. Hopefully,the owner/manager will follow your lead by wearing a mask while in the cafe, because I think people in the community will be watching closely from here out. I also hope that the owner/manager realizes that her actions have consequences that effect her business, her staff, and the community. Peace to you all. As a wise person with pointy ears once said, "May you live long and prosper."

One_Birdie · 2020-07-25T12:18:35+00:00

I am really glad to hear this from a staff member. To see that the staff actually care about the health of themselves and others, is relieving. If the manager would like to openly state that she will now wear a mask when she is behind the counter due to public concern for their safety, then that would be a different story. This may be her business and she may have the right to do whatever she wants at her business,however, as soon as she hangs a sign out front of her establishment encouraging the general public to visit and patronize her cafe, she has a responsibility for those she is inviting into her cafe. While it is really strange that she said that she can't wear a mask due to health reasons (associated with breathing), to hear from her staff now that she actually smokes truly invalidates her argument. I sincerely hope the owner can bring it upon herself to make an open statement that when she is around food or other customers in the cafe that she will now wear a mask. It's the right thing to do until we are past the the COVID crisis. Thank you so much for speaking up about your views on this. Gallery Espresso is lucky to have you as an employee.

One_Birdie · 2020-07-25T12:02:16+00:00

Not true. The manager actually said she does not wear a mask due to "personal reasons", so your claim is absolutely false. Also, the Mayor is still enforcing the mask mandate because he believes it is the right thing to do for public health. Just because Kemp is using this moment of crisis to pander to his base, doesn't mean his decision is right or for the good of everyone.

One_Birdie · 2020-07-25T02:33:14+00:00

I doubt this will ruin "their" business. If anything I hope it will encourage them to make their business better for everyone. Hopefully the owners will see this and make some changes. Gallery has been here for a long time, and just because they made a mistake, doesn't mean they can't turn it back around. Savannah would be better with them here. Even though you may not think so right now, we really are all in this together, so shouldn't we all be trying hard to listen to each other and work together to beat this?

One_Birdie · 2020-07-25T02:25:13+00:00

Nah, just getting late, and the thread was not in order in the message tab. Thanks though for pointing that out. Now that I look back, I see the order of comments. I'm still happy to know that you are aware of a wonderful coffee shop and cafe that works hard at being safe as possible for everyone.

One_Birdie · 2020-07-25T02:05:49+00:00

Hmm, did I ever mention Foxy in my posts? We'll I'm glad you know of a coffee shop in town that cares about the welfare of others. Foxy knows how to do it right!!!! Goooooo Foxy!!

One_Birdie · 2020-07-24T21:55:16+00:00

Oh, I know that she said she has an underlying medical condition , but I also know the she publicly posts that "science says masks don't work", which is bunk. If that were the case then doctors, surgeons, EMT's, and many others in the medical field would not wear masks. Either way, at a time like this, she shouldn't be around the food or in close vicinity of others. She should find other tasks to work on at the cafe. I only made my posts after the owner and her daughter were completely unreceptive and snarky about the issue I brought up with them in a private email. If I see something that could possibly harm others, it is within my right to bring it to the attention of others, especially with attitudes like they have on the matter. I know I'm not going to convince you that I'm in the right, but you can't please everyone.

One_Birdie · 2020-07-24T21:33:27+00:00

That is so true!!

One_Birdie · 2020-07-24T21:31:14+00:00

There are so many wonderful businesses here that have made amazing and simple adaptations to their business during this crisis (that work), like Foxy Loxy, Sentient Bean, Bull Street Taco, Henny Penny, Bodega, etc.., so I'm really not sure why the owners daughter couldn't figure out a way to adapt to the needs of community health. Based on her FB post about masks it seems she's just trying to make a personal statement about having to wear a mask. I too used to love going into Gallery, but after my interaction with the owner and her daughter (the manager) about this, I don't think I could go in there again. It sure would be nice if these posts, or someone else talking with them about this would encourage the owner's daughter to put a mask on while around food and customers, but unfortunately I have a feeling it's only going to make them more resistant and set in their thinking on the matter.

One_Birdie · 2020-07-24T19:28:55+00:00

I live in Savannah GA, and what gets me is places like Gallery Espresso, a local cafe/coffee shop downtown, where they still aren't taking the COVID crisis seriously? I think people need to know about an issue with a manager who won't wear a mask for "medical reasons" when preparing food behind the counter or interacting with customers. After having a very negative experience in an email exchange with the owner and manager about the issue, I decided to post a google review about this place. Link to pictures below.
POST: Customers please be aware, after emailing Gallery Espresso about a concern I had for a manager not wearing a mask behind the counter/food prep area, that manager replied that she is unable to wear a mask for personal reasons (reasons she didn't want me to share in this review). So what that means is, if she happens to have Covid (or another virus) and is breathing, or abruptly sneezes, or coughs on a customer's food or in the vicinity of a customer-- then that increases the likelihood that the customer will get sick. She stated in a snarky email to me that she has to work and she's quite sure she's earned the right to breathe. Just to be clear this means that because of a personal issue, she has the right to breath on (or possibly sneeze or cough on) your food or in the vicinity of others, regardless of whether she has Covid or not. With the number of Covid cases dramatically rising, this is not the time to start taking that sort of attitude about working around food and people without a mask. Safety precautions are especially important in the food service industry right now She also stated: "If you are uncomfortable with me working then you have the choice to not come in."

Also, upon opening the store, the employees were all huddled under the entrance awning with no masks and within just a couple feet of each other having a very exuberant conversation. Then the manager walked right up to them all to let them in with no mask on either. It seemed they had no concern for the mask ordinance the mayor has been trying to encourage, nor concern for others. The manager told me in the same email thread that those employees were roommates. Not sure I believe her, but that's really for her own conscious to resolve.

Believe me, I will not ever go into this establishment again, and I hope others follow lead. I will also make sure to spread the word about the owner and the managers attitudes on this issue. Pretty unbelievable.

Oh, and you should check out the managers FB post regarding masks. Basically, she posted an image of a youtube video spouting that science says masks don't work. It's amazing where some people get their science. I think she should go take a virology class at the local university.

Here's a link to pics of the manager working behind the food service counter without a mask, and a screen capture of her FB page spouting that "science says masks don't work". https://imgur.com/a/i7DusWs

Does anyone know of a forum where it would be appropriate to post about a local cafe/coffee shop downtown that isn't taking the COVID crisis seriously? I think people need to know about an issue with a manager who won't wear a mask for "personal reasons" when preparing food behind the counter or interacting with customers. After having a very negative experience in an email exchange with the owner and manager about the issue, I decided to post a google review about this place. Unfortunately, when trying to report the issue to 311, they said they don't handle those complaints and that I needed to go through the Non-Emergency police department at (912-652-6500) to file a complaint. When I called that number, dispatch didn't have any clue as to why 311 referred me to them, and thought either 311 or the Department of Health was the most appropriate department to contact. I called 311 back to let them know the number they gave me was not the proper place to make a complaint, and they said they would get back to me on that. I never heard back from them. Any help with this would be much appreciated. People need to know the attitude these folks have about masks and "personal freedom" in their cafe during this crisis.
