CARLTON
Thanks for hosting study group today, Satoshi!
That Beechworth chardonnay you got us to blind was *insane*
SATOSHI
My pleasure
Sorry I had to keep jumping up to serve people
I offered my bar staff extra shifts to help out with our glasswasher situation, but not many have taken me up on it
MAXI
No worries – we know what hospo is like!
Thanks for hosting anyway – fuck knows I would have cancelled if I was working with a broken glasswasher
SATOSHI
No choice, if I want to be ready for the Aus Somm comp next month (not to mention the MS)
Btw – standing offer to stage at Tsundoku whenever you like, but I really need cover on Sat 2 Feb. Are either of you free?
MAXI
I’m afraid not – daughter’s birthday
CARLTON
Me neither – I’m rostered on, and we’re stretched so thin rn that switching shifts is basically impossible
SATOSHI
Thanks anyway!

Subject: Complaint
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to complain about the appalling service I received at your bar on Tuesday night. Not only did the food my colleague andI ordered take almost an hour to reach the table, but it took nearly fifteen minutes to receive a simple glass of wine!
I should also note that your much-vaunted bookshelves contain an astonishing amount of trash – not at all what I had been led to expect by your reputation.
Regards,
Professor Tom Carmichael
