Mr. Chairman, the problems which were occurring there were not something that I could have gone over there and solved. The problems that I saw coming back were frustrated messages from Mr. Ward who was running the show for us, about an inability to get stock and so on and so forth, and some interference by the authorities over there. So, I think the supervisors were trying to keep the thing going and address all those other outside irritants, and that at times they had problems when there were two or three people who ran the cash register. I am sure they knew that was wrong. However, I think when you have a restaurant that is full and you have to put extra people on, sometimes all those procedures are not followed. Mr. Chairman, Mr. Dent is correct. I have been in that business and I know how easy it is to lose money at those cash registers. I also know that when you are putting the customer first, which is what I had told those people to do, you make changes for whatever reason, maybe someone gets sick or gets busy, or there is a shift change and you are busy and you do not have time to count the cash out and back in again, that those kinds of things that happen is shortages. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
