On edit: I forgot to say why. It's because I've never had an enjoyable meal at a Harper's. There's always something wrong every time I've been there.

So you're positively gleeful that people are losing their jobs? Nice.
Let me know if you ever lose your job so I can throw a party.

Unfortunately we had one TERRIBLE incident there and the manager absolutely did not handle it well and I was never able to go back. (Something in my food did not belong there!)
Anyway, for those who think I'm an insensitive clod over my previous remark, this is one of those "you'd understand if you were in my shoes" things. In my profession, it is far harder to find a new job if one loses it. Whereas with restaurants, there's one on every corner. I have no sensitivity to squeeze out on this subject.

Wow. Maybe you should get off your high horse and go work in a restaurant. It is not easy to find a GOOD restaurant job; meaning one that serves food you're willing to recommend and one that is a good fit for your particular personality. There are so many things that factor into finding or accepting a restaurant job. I don't normally get offended by much, but I am quite offended by your air of superiority and your ignorance in this matter.

I worked in restaurants for 24 years before making a career change and know exactly what you mean. I also have a feeling that "you'd understand if you were in my shoes" is a one way street concept with Steve. There are many businesses here locally and in the U.S. that I may not be fond of, but I NEVER take delight in seeing someone lose their job. That is just plain old mean and coldhearted.
