bankrupt. The owners son had just graduated high-school 1-2 years prior and became the general manager after the previous general manager quit and then subsequently broke in and stole the safe.

Within 1-2 years this manager had turned the restaurant into a successful business and they began to expand. One thing he told me was he hated the idea of a salary because working harder would not equal more money. As the business grew he worked harder, and it got to the point where he was making some very good money.
