Winter Pride Fest, San Juan PR

 

WPF2025 is in my past. While every experience is valued, being a sponsor is one I will not repeat.  The person in charge is also one of the owners of Coqui Del Mar LLC. 

·      Didn’t keep appointments, didn’t even bother to show up for the event

·      Didn’t list me as a sponsor

·      CDM was the only listed sponsor

·      This was the only form of payment so effectively I got nothing

·      Took credit for my work and instructed the manager on duty to remove my business card from the swag bags

·      He did not participate financially or artistically in the gifts that his guest received

·      Given the choice of including business cards or guests receiving no gifts, he did cave on this one

·      I will say that he treated me like one of the staff, which was horrible

·      Nothing is ever his fault.  A customer claimed that the event was misrepresented and he approached me about it.  Every representation was literally cut and pasted from his ‘official’ site.  Couldn’t tell me what was misrepresented, to whom it was misrepresented or when, but he was sure I had something to do with it.       

·      Starts every conversation with negative – by his own admission instead of telling the chef he did a good job on brunch, he told them that they left the door open.  The door that opens into the serving area, slamming into guests if someone doesn’t exercise great care.

·      Insists on respect, while he gives none – respect is earned, not taken or demand
