Quarterfinals: Best Customer Service in Dunedin
We’re down to eight businesses in our customer service tournament. Which do you like best?
And then there were eight.
This elite group of businesses has made it through the first three rounds of voting in Patch’s customer service tournament, with strong support from readers of Dunedin Patch.
These establishments know how to treat their customers right, and they need your help to earn a spot in the semifinals. So check out the quarterfinal pairings and vote for your favorites below.
The businesses with the most votes as of noon Monday will advance to the next round. Any ties will be broken based on reader comments and reviews. (Did you know you can review your favorite businesses in the Dunedin Patch directory?)
Good luck to all our competitors!

Enchanted Spirits is such a peaceful and beautiful shop! Kathy and Bear give a warm welcome to every visitor. Their products are so unique and Bear's jewelry is truly one of kind.

Good morning,
With regret Broadway Deli & Cafe is ceding the "Best of Competition" to Enchanted Spirits. We respect and thank everyone who has participated and supported us. Unfortunately we have found out that the voting can be compromised by a simple change in your computer settings of which a few of our supporters have used. We thank Patch.com for the opportunity to participate and consideration we look forward to seeing everyone soon. Thank you, Keith & Robbie

Good morning Keith and Robbie,
I would believe that we had the same set of circumstances involved in our voting. So now we are on the same level. What do we do ? We also very much appreciate Dunedin.Patch.com for providing this opportunity for us to show our strengths. It has been a great deal of fun. It has rallied a number of our supporters and created enthusiasm. We will leave the decision for this match up to Dunedin.Patch.com. Namaste, Kathy and Bear.

Thank you so much for coming forward and pointing this out! You are a great bunch of merchants!
We have located a bug in the polls, and to make sure this is done fair and square, we are disqualifying this entire quarterfinal round.
To get to the Final Four, we are relaunching Quarterfinal voting in sudden death matchups from 6 p.m. tonight to 6 p.m. Tuesday. Businesses will move forward into the Final Four based on the number of voter ratings and reviews on their Dunedin Patch business listing made between those hours. All of this can be tracked in the open and there is no opportunity for "cheating."
The Final Four matchups will resume as previously scheduled on Wednesday probably based on a similar voting method.
You'll all receive emails on this soon!

Keith and Kathleen...I think you're BOTH winners! We've just witnessed another example of your honesty and how you both do things the right way. No wonder why you have such loyal and enthusiastic customers! :)
