Restaurant Responds to Belittling Comment With Positive 'Show More Skin' Campaign

  • 10 years ago
The owner of Atomic Grill in Morgantown, West Virginia stumbled across an online comment left on Urban Spoon, which asked for servers to 'show more skin'. Once the restaurant owner, Daniel McCawley saw the brazen comment he decided to grant that wish, but not exactly in the way you would automatically assume.

Most businesses strive to keep customers happy. One restaurant in particular decided to respond to a patron’s review in a unique way.

The owner of Atomic Grill in Morgantown, West Virginia stumbled across an online comment left on Urban Spoon. Although the review has since been deleted, whoever is responsible for writing it had a somewhat offensive suggestion for employees. He or she wanted the servers to ‘show more skin’.

Once the restaurant owner, Daniel McCawley saw the brazen comment he decided to grant that wish, but not exactly in the way you would automatically assume.

He’s decided to show more skin in his eatery... potato skin that is. During Memorial Day weekend, the restaurant is offering a deal on loaded potato skins.

The dish will be available for a price of $7 and all of the proceeds will go to the West Virginia Foundation for Rape Information and Services. McCawley certainly spun that demeaning comment into something very positive.

Reflecting on the review he remarked “"It was brutish. I was upset. I’m a father of a 12-year-old girl and I’ve got five sisters. The way that women are treated is pretty personal as far as I’m concerned."
