they've got some thugswatching us all the time, and when customers arrive, these thugs just threaten themand scare them all away. we can do nothing.what can l do? you tell the police? police? ha! they disappear as soonas the police arrive. and we can't really ask the policefor 24 hours protection hmm. now business is bad,getting worse and worse.
