Sashimi Chef

I'm so disappointed to find all the long-service staff and waiters/waitresses have left.
The service now is much to be desired.

... esp the working altitude of the new leader, SHAKE HEAD!!!

Poor service will chase AWAY customers, you know!

 It has  hidden itself in the drawer for years and today I found it finally.
