Introduction:
This experience, which is the subject of this post has never happened to me in all the years that I have spent in this Country of my
long-time residence that is why it is being given such “distinction”. Namely an
entire Blog post devoted to the events associated with it. At this point it
must be emphasized that even though it bears some similarity to events
associated with my encounter at the then Community National Bank in VT, in the
summer of 1990, (as documented in the paragraph beginning with "The scenario involved a then... " in the post IDENTITY SWITCHING OVER THE YEARS COMPACTED FOR THE RECORD), the actual
underlying details are completely different, which is perfect opportunity to
point out that there are always two sides to any situation and any entity serving the public should always be careful to thoroughly
evaluate ALL the facts before reaching any premature conclusions because the
decisions made by those representing the enterprise could well open the
business complex legal actions that could be devastating to their ability to conduct
business as usual. The developments that are the subject of this post occurred
between November 6, 2014 and culminated on November 15, 2014. Please follow to
determine the facts, which the representatives of the enterprise involved
FAILED to obtain before the very FLAWED decision at, which they arrived was
reached and implemented before conducting any type of fact-finding.
Here is the Set-up of the Events in Question:
On the early evening of November 6, 2014 I took the opportunity to visit the establishment known as
Stuff, which is located at 252 Blairs Ferry Road NE, Suite B, Cedar Rapids
around sunset, (which was approximately between 5:15 pm and 5:30pm). One
worker, (whose name I did not know at the time), was working at one of the
floor stations and as I sometimes do on occasion, the opportunity was taken to
introduce myself and businesses being contemplated and in the conceptual stages
as indicated on the Pages of the applicable Blogs, Cosvry Investments and
ClCh’s Bakery and even encouraged her to check out the details on my Blog Pages
and gave her the associated details on a sheet of paper that she supplied to
me. My aim at the time was to determine if she would open to working in such
establishments when they were ready to be implemented and moved from the conceptual
stage. This encounter took about 1 minute at most and then I left the worker
after passing by her station again to point out that, I would most likely be
following-up with her later that week and asked if she was working, and she
replied in the affirmative (at this point she was attending to the needs of
another customer and I asked the question about her work schedule for
later in the week in passing, in order to avoid disrupting her from her
duties). At this time, I indicated that I would be back later most likely on
Saturday to provide her with further details and left.
Since I was in the area again on the evening of November 7, 2014 around 6:00 pm I decided to stop in
and provide the worker with the follow-up details promised. However, instead of
parking in the front of the building as I usually do, I decided to make my way
to the back to park. On approaching the rear, there was a dark colored (either
dark blue or black) sporty type shaped vehicle (with unusual pattern halogen
headlights), with a driver in the vehicle and an individual (female, dressed in a (Stuff’s) worker’s attire, whose
identity I could not determine from the location of my vehicle’s position, scurrying back into the building), and as my
vehicle approached the parking area closer to that area where individual in the
vehicle was sitting in the idling car he pulled off and left). After parking I
entered the vehicle and could not locate the worker whom I had encountered the
previous evening even though I stayed there for approximately 1 hour and left
after examining the floor area to determine if there were any specific items
on, which savings could be gained via purchasing as I do on occasion when such
merchandise is available for purchase as I am a customer who have found very
useful items there on occasion as the below photo excerpts of the included
receipts indicate.
My next occasion to visit this establishment was on the evening of November 15, 2014 around 5:45 pm, it was snowing and the worker was in place this time at the check-out register and after selecting 1 roll of tape to purchase since the type of tape I was looking for was unavailable, I made my way to the register. Upon reaching the register, the photo included below indicates I greeted the worker whose name I still did not know and I stated as much in pointing out that I had visited the next night rather than on the 8th as indicated and had I known her name I would have left a message for her. Anyway, I proceeded to point out additional details to this worker whose responses were now very curt and insincere as opposed to her manner on the first night when I encountered her. Before, I was able to relay any great deal of information to the worker now known as Elizabeth (from the receipt included below), an entourage approached me and inquired if I was finished with my purchase and I replied affirmatively and attempted to continue my conversation with the insincere worker but was again interrupted my the leader of this entourage who indicated that the register was being shut down and proceeded to relay to me that Manager was asking me to LEAVE their establishment to “avoid anyone feeling uncomfortable”.
The Outcome:
None of my actions described included anything that would have cause anyone to “feel uncomfortable” and if
Elizabeth did not want to hear any additional details about my proposed businesses all she
had to do was to say I am not interested and I would not have spent any
additional time in this regard. On the contrary, she wanted me to convey
information, in my opinion to prove some point she was desirous of conveying
“for the cameras” (or for some larger ulterior motive). After having given
additional thought to these developments that at their core, make no sense, I
have concluded that the vehicle incident on the previous week involved this
worker and the individual who was observed scurrying into the establishment in the
worker’s attire was one and the same Elizabeth, (in my opinion attempting to
get away from the individual in the idling vehicle). All I can state for
certain, is that on entering the establishment and making a sweep of the
visible premises, she was nowhere to be found.
I can only conclude that some development must have taken place afterwards involving this worker and in her attempt to get herself out
of a very uncompromising situation I was used as a “scapegoat” for those
involved in the Establishment to risk placing themselves in the very
unwarranted position of VIOLATING MY CIVIL RIGHTS and not
even affording me the opportunity to address the “wrong”, I am supposed to have
committed. Simply providing detailed information to an individual who wanted
such, (but only for her own self interest), not even taking the time to consider the
very sensitive situation she was placing her Employer in by their action in
violating my civil rights in public accommodation, granted though my purchase
at that time was completed, demonstrates the type of individual this worker is.
The Conclusion and Future Outlook:
Until the evening of 11/15/2014, I had considered this establishment to be a very well run operation, however with the events that
have taken place that conclusion has been changed and I now have no plans to
ever visit, make or recommend that anyone conduct business at an
establishment that does NOT openly consider the rights of its customers in
arriving at its very questionable decision-making. I had been considering
purchasing some furnishings from that location in the near future as I am
awaiting my relocating plans to be completed but that has all been erased by the
actions of a very insincere female worker, who may have manipulated her
Employer into violating my civil rights in order to avoid taking responsibility
for some other action(s) she may have carried out either in panic or acting out
of fear and chose to implicate me (an innocent but convenient bystander).
A properly implemented root cause evaluation of the type
that can be provided by me as depicted in the Conclusion section of the post THE ONE THAT WAS OVERLOOKED,OR WAS IT - EDITED AND UPDATED would have:
- gotten to the core of the details first,
- avoided violating the civil rights of any individual including those of the insincere worker,
- prevented the establishment from placing their operation in a position to be at the center of a civil rights in public accommodation scenario,
- led to the worker “fessing” up and seeking assistance if involved in any type of “personal” arrangement where she felt really threatened by any thuggish type individual driving a vehicle with “loud” halogen headlights and the matter would have been all kept internal and
- avoided any potential fallout from negative public reaction to sensitive events of such a nature.
The picturesque Tiger swallowtail butterfly shown “on a mission” to the prized “pollen” is taking the alternate path to get to its objective by slowly making the way up the lily to the flower in its sights. In addition, this species is unique in that all the males only have these brightly colored appearances, while only some of the females are so colorfully adorned. They (the females) tend to be darker, mostly black with spots of blue, orange and yellow along the edges of the wings due to the subtle evolution of this variety to adapt to their environment surroundings as a form of protection similar to the manner in, which most of God’s creation have from man down to even butterflies. The dark form of the tiger, for example is similar to the pipevine swallowtail, which creates a chemical in its body that's distasteful to birds. In addition, eggs of the tiger and several other swallowtails look like birds droppings. Furthermore, after awhile, the eggs turn green to blend with the leaves that the larvae will feed on. These larvae then curl the leaves over themselves with silk, and develop large fake eyespots that make them look like small snakes.
Free loaders cause" with their borrowed lineages pretend to be anything that can give them the desired "credibility" they "A-L-L" lack due to origin issues. This is as true for those latest of comers, the more "refined" types of the "free loaders" discussed in detail on the pages of this Blog as it is for other types who came during the farm crisis of the late 70's and early 80's from eastern European countries. THEY ALL HAVE "ORIGIN ISSUES".

Resolution Terms:
The following conditions would be considered an adequate settlement from the owner interests within a near-term time-frame considering the gravity of the conditions that occurred:
- conducting root cause evaluation(s) at any of your business enterprises deemed appropriate to determine if the potential for similar developments exists within the establishments and implementing recommendations as appropriate as long as I am able to participate in the evaluation and appropriate terms can be agreed upon,
- these evaluations should include an assessment, which determines why the City’s policies do not obviously more vigorously cover such criteria, and if such conditions exists, as occurs with Building and Zoning Regulations loopholes that enables “select” types to circumvent “cumbersome” criteria such as described in the post “WHEN “CODIFIKAZIONS” AND “REGUGAZIONS” “RUN” FOR COVER!”; determine if the potential exists for businesses generally to circumvent adequately addressing the civil rights of individuals even those within their staff (for those types who would seek to violate such criteria), which I will be willing to conduct as Conservery’s Proprietor with appropriate terms,
publishing a letter publicly indicating that your establishments have, through self introspection examined your processes and have concluded that your practices do not allow for violating the civil (or other) rights of any customer/individual who uses your places of business, and whom you are proud to serve (after conducting an outside review and the results indicate this to be correct), and
information to the effect that my activity as a customer of the establishment will be added to the pages of this Blog indicating that a settlement has been reached that will allow me to reverse my previously planned decision to curtail all business activity there.
If on the other hand the above terms prove too challenging to implement, the following conditions would be considered a satisfactory alternative to achieving the desired outcome that would result in item #4 above being issued by me, appropriately, as follows:
- making the equivalent of a guaranteed $20,000,000.00 loan available to me at zero percent (0%) interest rate for the first 5 years. After 5 years the repayment period starts at an interest rate of 3% for another 5 years at, which time a balloon payment for the remainder of the loan comes due or the loan is refinanced and the Owner interest (who guaranteed the original loan) paid out,
- implementing ClCh’s Bakery first and then Cosvry Investments will be the purpose of the loan funds and no conditions on how the funds are to be used are to be made a part of the loan,
- following the above being worked out, publishing information to the effect that a settlement has been reached between the Owner interest and me should be completed.
