With staff being in short supply, the manager could not appease everyone, causing a further escalation in chaos.
Seizing the opportunity, a customer called to report the incident.
The manager, weary from dealing with the situation, was about to address the complaint when another customer incited a scene at the entrance of the restaurant.
As the waitstaff attempted to intervene, their limited numbers forced them to leave some things unchecked.
They shifted their focus to deal with the crowd at the entrance.
However, customers inside the restaurant started to call the TV station.
It's like playing a game of Whac-A-Mole.
Squash one issue, another one pops up.
Stop another one, and the first one returns.
It's impossible to manage everything all at once.
The rhythm and sequence of events, as well as the efficient use of time, are all impeccably coordinated.
No matter how Wendy Clarke looked at it, she felt her restaurant was being targeted.
