Re: Unkind words

As you may be aware, my restaurant, Over-Easy Diner, has been serving breakfast and lunch to the citizens of this fine town for the last 50 years.

Recently I have overheard a number of comments from the servers indicating that the customers are complaining to them about the comfort of the chairs in the dining area. Last week an anonymous editorial appeared in our local paper branding us ”The Worst Seat in Town”.

Can you help me solve this problem?
