In formal settings I'll sometimes say "please advise" when there isn't a specific "let me know what the next steps are" or "let me know your thoughts" to use.

The western blvd kmart got fined for this but it was stickers on the rack showing the wrong price.

"Edelman told Boston.com that investigating pricing discrepancies by neighborhood restaurants isn’t something he does every day. “I mostly look for malfeasance by larger companies,” he said. “It certainly seems like a situation that could call for legal redress. But this is a small business in the town where I reside.” As for the troves of angry customers likely looking for recourse? Edelman pointed Boston.com to Massachusetts General Law, Section XV, Chapter 93A, Section 9. (Translation: If you didn’t pass the Massachusetts bar, but still feel as though you must do SOMETHING, then just gather all the receipts you’ve saved, along with all screenshots you took and saved of the website menu in case that dinner order ever ended up in court, find a lawyer whose fees aren’t likely to exceed the few dollars you’re seeking, and ... voila?) As for Edelman, he alerted town officials in Brookline about the matter, but told Boston.com he doesn’t expect them to take action. He plans to “take a few days” before deciding whether to pursue any further legal action against the restaurant. Oh and the food? Edelman admitted: “It was delicious.”"

"My Emails with Sichuan Garden December 10, 2014 - Permalink Many people have seen my emails with Ran Duan of Sichuan Garden restaurant in Brookline. Having reflected on my interaction with Ran, including what I said and how I said it, it's clear that I was very much out of line. I aspire to act with great respect and humility in dealing with others, no matter what the situation. Clearly I failed to do so. I am sorry, and I intend to do better in the future. I have reached out to Ran and will apologize to him personally as well."

Ran Duran has an incredible amount of patience

and a very funny name

Either this dude is super stingy or he was really stressed out at Harvard and the $4 was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Sounds like an old boss of mine. What a dick.

Next year he's gonna be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood.

You would think a professor at HBS would understand the concept of opportunity cost.

agreed 100%

the only times I have ended an email with "please advise" was when I was trying to be a dick

12/11/2014 11:21:55 AM

too many words.

12/11/2014 11:55:35 AM

What an utter and complete jerk with too much time on his hands.

If he wanted to help people, he should be going after corporations that fleece customers, poison the environment, flout laws, lie, and get away with it.
