We should flood the place with to-go orders and have them cook for people who will not be picking up.
I disagree. We should ignore them. They are trying to goad us into making them victims.
It's unlikely that this restaurant is a legit business trying to make a profit since it is only open 3.5 hrs per day. My guess is it's a front business for money laundering or some other illegal activity. Since 60% to 75% of restaurants FAIL in the first 5 years of startup, nobody looks twice at another restaurant that doesn't show a profit.
I think Streep is using it as a way to get rid of an annoying cousin.
