Wings To Go Didn’t Just Fail Me — They Buried the Truth

Greetings, My name is Dave Monroe. I was once an insider at Wings To Go — part of a family deeply invested in the brand from nearly the beginning. I didn’t just work at a store. I helped keep one alive. My stepfather, John Parise, was heavily involved, pouring thousands into a franchise that was bleeding out. And when it all started falling apart, Wings To Go didn’t show up.

Extreme rudeness and unfriendliness

I went to the subway in Maple Grove, Minnesota subway number 5063–0 there were two sandwich makers. The guy was very nice. The woman was extremely unfriendly and rude. I won’t be going there again. I would think you would wanna hire someone that was a little decent and then they have the nerve to ask for a tip when you’re signing for your bill. The tip I would say is to…

They are currently in litigation over this. The same employee days later killed a homeless woman for stealing either a salad or a sandwich. The place had been closed by the city for not having several…
