as it is nonsense. The staff is not 'to busy' but too busy. But you have issues with other's English skills? That takes the cake.

comment, it was right in front of her service.

They don't care because if "the help" complains, because if they do, the former employees will be escorted off the property pronto.

Joe makes an excellent point about just how bad Romney's comments really are. The problem is that working people--the vary people who serve Romney--aren't paid enough to live on. Meanwhile Romney is paid, but doesn't work.
