An advice from a man/service professional to the man/owner, relax and let the lady with you manage, she's doing far better than you, you're just ruining the place. At this moment and because of you running this place, I'm having a terrible night, got food poisoning from the dish I had, hopefully I only ate little as I felt something hidden behind the exaggerated spice of "z3itra". Once again, let your wife run the place, she seemed desperate with...
