Excuse me
You call yourself a Southern Lady while falsely accusing the owner Marla her daughter of being the ?rudest, nastiest, women I have ever encountered? Are we talking about the same store and owner? The Benet Store I know is the oldest continuously run store in St. Augustine. The owner must be doing something right, she has owned and operated the business for 33 years. Employed hundreds of people over the years. Given generously to schools, churches and charities even during tuff times. Involved in community and Chamber of Commerce activities and would give you the shirt of her back if you were in need.
Because you?re too coward to pin your name to your accusations we?ll probably never know your real motive for your petty lies. But for the rest of the world who might read your misdirected rantings and form a premature opinion as to whether or not visit our wonderful City and the Benet Store. Let me reassure them, you?ll never visit a better City, a nicer store and be greeted/serviced by a more courtesy owner or employees. And how can I attest to that fact? I?ve had the honor and privilege of being married to the owner Mrs. Marla for the last 29 years.
One more important point. My wife?s family was early pioneers to this community over 150 years ago. So they are about as Southern as they come. But the Southern Hospitality we embrace is a state of honor, integrity, grace, charm and friendship. Southern manners can be acquired no matter what side of the Mason-Dixie line you come from. Perhaps you should apologize to all those fine folks who were not born in the South but elected to move and participate in our heritage?
After doing that will you please pass me some of that good sweet tea? Thank you Ma'am
