At this point, there's been so much whining and complaining going on, that whatever sympathy I had for both the owners and wait stuff are out the window. Either make it work or go out of business. I don't care which, really.
I mean, what other business keeps crying when they can't make it work? Just getting ridiculous here in SF--these folks are like glorified beggars.
