No one is criticizing Todd for being a hard worker. I think that is fairly understood that he works incredibly hard. What we are criticizing him for is (1) trying to bully and intimidate the competition and (2) saying nasty racist things about the owners of other Mt. Washington establishments. I am not his friend, i have only encountered him on a couple occasions, but every time I've heard him speak I have heard him make inappropriate comments. The “polished by a Jew” comment is one of many things I've heard him say. He makes offensive comments and I for one will not tolerate his views. I do not agree with him and I feel that if I patronize his businesses, I am condoning them. But then again, I'm also the kind of person who refuses to shop at Wal-Mart.
