Perhaps a financial investigation is in order? After all, under the given conditions, no great ingenuity is required to serve even passably decent food. There would appear to be only two reasons behind the present indigestive contrepas; incompetence or a form of financial looseness whose obscurity does not permit of definition. In either...
