Well we are here to spray paint over that holy tablet with our first book, "The Customer Is Always Wrong, An irreverent guide to restaurant etiquette." This new book is an endearing look into the inner workings of a restaurant from the owners point of view. The short stories of employees, salesmen, and customers will keep you laughing regardless of what line of work you are in. This book has been inspired by all the hardships we have faced and can now laugh at. I think anyone can relate to these stories for they reflect the nature of how we as people relate to each other, be it good or bad we are all in this relationship together. It is our hope that everyone could laugh along with us. The inspiration for this book came from years up to our necks in the service industry and always saying "we should write a book about this."
