Can I fucking order now?
Tip to open up a restaurant and to stay in business for a longer period of time is to not have success syndrome.
Usually mankind do suffers from a little success syndrome. Though it may not usually apply to all. People tend to get a little arrogant and shallow when the amount of their asset increases. They tend to forget about themselves. It is very much different from cases of losing own's identity.
What will happen if a restaurant or a business suffers from success syndrome?
They take forever to even come up to you to take your order. They even take longer to come up with your bill. At times, once or twice of this bad ordeal could be pardoned, when the place is full with people and you are short-staffed. But every single time would be not be excused.
The highest revenue generated in a month of the restaurant branch in town could be the factor. Host/hostess looks like they don't give a shit whether you are eating at their restaurant. Servers glide through like they do not see you. A test has been done, we put a used plate on one of the hallway which they glide through everytime. It took 4 servers and half an hour later to only realised there was an used plate visible to even an one-eyed cow.
Billing was a problem too. In order to pay, you will have to probably wave the servers over in about 20 minutes earlier before you want to walk off. 5 to 10 minutes was probably gone when you try to wave a server over. It has often been a boiling point when we need to make the time for a movie.
Sadly, it happens to most successful place. You will know it when they have the look of not bothered to serve you at times. And most of the time, we just walk off.

Tioman, Langkawi or some new duty free island I do not know of?
Ze caterpillar. Langkawi.
hey I would walk away too. It's a matter of principle man. Who cares about the food in such an instance? Besides, good food aplenty out there. :)

PAS changes a lot of things.

Wait, maybe I should listen to Bond. Never say never.
