Its so bad that qualified directors/managers are unable to have any real power/ impact. Even mundane tasks like buying supplies for the restrooms are handled by the owners daughter. Who buys cough drops to place in a public (or private!) restroom Crazy."

"Allow management to do make the decisions they were hired for."
