My girlfriend, whom has four wonderful children which are all luckily musically inclined, decided that she would stop into Jim Terry's Music Store off Curlew Rd. She was looking for a very simple pair of products; a bell set and a music book. Long story short, this encounter ended with the employee, if not Jim himself, who unimaginably told her to ""F*** off"" which prompted her to leave this store. After receiving a call from her while I'm at work, clarifying the details of the situation, I decided I would like to call this store and find out what happened. I requested to speak with a Manager, conviently there isn't one, and was then badgered by a bad attituded employee would refused to give my name and phone number for someone higher than himself to call me back. This only further leads me to believe this is Jim Terry cowardly hiding behind a telephone. While recording this conversation, I was then told, ""If you're dating her, then you've got a big f*cking problem."" I've worked in multiple hospitality environments throughout the Tampa Bay area, as of right now I serve the IT community of a notable private hotel chain that's garnished a great deal of media attention for its outstanding efforts to their guests, and in situation that I can think of should a guest or customer be told to ""F*** off."" From this point forward I will go out of my way to make sure anyone who visits this store knows of this situation, I've e-mailed the recording of my conversation with their employee to BayNews 9 and I have reported this to the Better Business Bureau.
