Like when we call someone a peasant 254 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 3: or say someone's poor, they get so offended they actually 255 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 3: get really mad. 256 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, two questions.

And the fact that this Greek place 533 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 2: here in the Hamptons didn't have anybody there that was 534 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 2: grown up, like managing the place. 535 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. 536 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, because the hospitality can also like make a break 537 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 3: and any experience as well, like if it's like a 538 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 3: horrible time, but they're actually like taking accountability and being nice, 539 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,719 Speaker 3: maybe offering like a free dessert or something for your trouble, 540 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 3: like that always helps I feel like. 541 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 2: Right, okay, so what about I'll tell you it was 542 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 2: annoying that happened to me. I went to a restaurant 543 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 2: out here that I literally raved about. So the owner 544 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 2: sends me some stuff, but they wanted to promote some stuff. 545 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 2: They had like a product line right to my house.
