He said that after hearing several complaints from customers he decided to take a look himself. On a day he was to be away he took a small boat off the coast of his place and observed the restaurant with binoculars. Seeing the waiters goofing off while customers were there, he called the bar on his cell. "Hey, how's it going? Are you guys busy?" "Oh yes boss, very busy." Sergio asked if they were doing all the chores he asked them to do. "Oh, yes boss, all done." Sergio called them lying SOB's as well as a few other choice things before telling them he was watching them at that very moment and that they'd all be fired if they didn't get going.Whodathunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10448560691331888079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-38579881873528443072010-09-15T19:37:09.473-05:002010-09-15T19:37:09.473-05:00OMG, this is hysterical!

A few sarcastic por faVOR's and tapping my spoon on a glass for service. On the other hand, it's a shame as the owners probably have no idea this is going on. Since English is important the owners may read it, wouldn't it be fun to give them this URL so they can see what was said.Jonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775514857047122526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-70602043119022007832010-09-15T11:12:31.671-05:002010-09-15T11:12:31.671-05:00I'm having a belly laff over this one.

I think they have a loyal following and people eat there for the social aspect. I have to say, the owner and his wife were extremely nice to me last November when Ida went through. They let me plant myself at a table with my laptop, using their wireless while I watched the squalls. Wayne, I'm glad your sense of humor was intact because you needed it that night!
