1.6. Your boss asks you to respond to the memo below from Jenny Eggs…
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? To: Oracular Consulting
From: Jenny Eggs, Owner of Over-Easy Diner
