So, today I trash-walked Marguerite from Felipe to Crown Valley Pkwy. All along the way, I was picking up trash that was either tossed by patrons of Andrea's Liquor or blown down the street from where patrons tossed the garbage in the store parking lot. Either way, by the time I got to Andreas (travelling South on Marguerite) I was more than a little miffed to find that the entire "landscaped" areas surrounding the parking lot was full of trash. I went ahead and did my thing, picking up among the landscaping.
Then I went in and spoke with the owner and asked him how often he does that himself. He said they have a sweeper that comes in nightly. I said, "no, not the paved areas, all the landscaped areas." He said, "I've complained to the landlord and she does nothing about it." I said, "Please, understand that I am not complaining, I'm simply stating that regardless of what your landlord does or does not do, it is still your responsibility to clean up after the patrons of your business."
In the end, I offered to call his landlord personally, to "help". And he told me that it is really the property manager I must speak with. So I asked for information on the property manager. He said he didn't have it handy. I offered him my email address so he could send it to me. He said he doesn't have email anywhere in his life. I gave him my phone number and asked him to call me with the name and number of his property manager. He politely took my name and number, which I am sure was expediently round filed.
Interestingly, I asked to use his restroom and he said he doesn't have public restrooms. I said, "dude, come on, I just cleaned your parking lot". He said, "there's too much stuff back there."
I'm pretty much done with Andrea's Liquors for anything ever again.
