  2. Well Bob it doesn't surprise me really. I have been in the restaurant business for a long time and it's hard to find someone who isn't using something . I think it's just a symptom of the times , this world is a really corrupt place and life can be hard to deal with you know ?
    I see it as an exercise in acceptance and grace.
    PEACE
