To that I say balderdash.  Not only am I influencing the candidates and clients within the restaurant industry, but the influence of this blog has spread to at least two other industries (that I know of.)  My article on customer service &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/cecsearch.com\/wordpress\/2007\/01\/15\/what-can-broken-eyeglasses-teach-us-about-customer-service\/\"><strong>What can broken eyeglasses teach us about customer service<\/strong><\/a>?&#8221; was made <strong>required reading <\/strong>by the manager of a <strong>call center <\/strong>(who just happens to be a resident of BC, a fellow countryman of the Animals&#8217; and therefore a sterling source of evidence) that <strong>employs over 250 agents<\/strong>.  And recently I found out that my article was featured in a prominent blog in the funeral industry &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/finalembrace.wordpress.com\/2007\/03\/02\/what-a-customer-really-means-when-complaining\/\"><strong>Final Embrace<\/strong><\/a>.
