it went down it went down a lot faster
and then fell off a cliff we went
through SAS and we went through the
global financial crash and we actually
we thought we had a good playbook which
was shrink up and and like cut costs and
then write it out but this one this was
a hidden tsunami right up to late March
I had no dream of closing the
restaurants it happened very fast and
you have to keep thinking wow what's
happening
[Music]
to lose four X months you do so on the
basis of okay we'll make it back in one
year we'll make back in two years to
lose for x1 and and we don't know what
the future is so much unknown if I was
40 years old
it'd be a different thought process I'm
62 do I want to have this dress
[Music]
Asaf kept asking boss what do we do what
we do and I said okay number one please
be assured that the day I have no money
to pay you I will make sure that you
know it that you will get your last pay
you will get your notice you get your
lip please work in the I can't promise
you anything other than this that I can
pay you to the last day
[Music]
I had so many messages from people that
oh you know I used to come there as a
teenager I used to come after school
there's a bunch of girls who we did a
little photo tribute to us that made me
cry when I saw it and it was very
difficult so I didn't expect that much
support a lot of people had really happy
memories with us which is great because
that's what we're here for
[Music]
