Damn, that's the thing nobody talks about, these maps look official as hell but they're just guesses from some app. I've seen the same crap where people overlay cell tower stuff on top of school zones and suddenly it's a conspiracy. Best move is always to hit up the county office like you did, those permit records are public and boring as dirt, which is exactly why they're trustworthy.

Support took 4 days" sounds like our old internet provider. We just switched and moved on.

Did you catch the part where he brought in that outside HR person? That's what got me, because I had a buddy who worked at a place in Seattle where the owner did a similar public apology, hired some "consultant" who turned out to be his old college roommate... total PR stunt. But this Portland guy, he actually let the HR lady talk to the staff alone, and my buddy's cousin knows one of the line cooks there, said they got a real survey with anonymous options and everything. That's not something you do if you're just trying to save face. I called my friend last night and we watched it together, and even he was like "okay, this is different" and he's the most cynical guy I know about restaurant apologies. Still, the lost wages thing is the real test, if he actually pays that kid, then I'll fully believe it. Until then, it's a strong maybe from me.
