For anyone who has ever worked in the restaurant business this is not "shocking."
I can't think of a tougher way to make a living. I ought to know.
It also explains why restaurateurs can be some of the most miserable sons-of-bitches on the planet and such deeply committed assholes.
I worked in a lot of joints over the years.
With a couple of exceptions, the owners were dickheads. That goes for the women, too.
Of course, I'm proud to admit I was no patsy, either. Made for a volatile cocktail at times.
Fortunately, I never bought a place and lost my shirt. I never had a shirt to begin with.
All I ever lost in the business was my soul.
