But unless you know the business owner/manager personally, you need a reference for the person giving the reference. One of my friends recntly had her job put into jeopardy because her supervisor wanted her to do some shady things and she refused. I'm sure he wouldn't give her a good reference, but this is the definition of "consider the source."
And you know what? That applies to sorority recs too. I'm sure a rec from ABC at Teeny Northern U doesn't impress ABC at SEC U. And honestly, why should it?
As I said, somewhere along the way this system got corrupted from "here's a letter of introduction" to " this form is supposed to be a golden ticket and if it's not, I'll shout far and wide how awful this chapter/group is."
