Let me get this straight....""Since the start of January, we noticed a drop in (American) customers of between five and 10 percent and now that we are in April its looks really frightening," , Harry's owner, told Reuters by phone from Venice on Monday.
Frightening? So, they like to brag about having a better currency but at the same time fear loosing our business???? And to make us 'feel better" and attract more American customers they decide to talk down to us ..." in an effort to make the American victims of subprime loans happier, has decided to give them a special 20 percent discount on all items of the menu during the short term of their recovery." Like, hey I am sorry for you, here is this discount so you won't cry. If this is not a case of bad marketing then explain.
First and foremost, genuine victims of the sub-prime loan market can barely make it needless to say I don't expect them to be in Venice eating at such an expensive place (my assumption) so they picked up the wrong line, dumb dumb dumb.
Hmmmmmmmm
The restaurant get two enthusiastic thumbs down from me too.
