Sip N Bite voted 'most customer friendly' IIT joint, distraught owner attempts suicide

A recently conducted online poll which found Cafe Sip N Bite, a multi-cuisine restaurant in IIT Delhi, at the top position among various eateries at IIT Delhi, with regards to 'customer friendliness and satisfaction', has shocked and deeply anguished the management and staff of the restaurant, to the extent that unconfirmed reports say that the owner had attempted suicide hours within hearing the news.
"After all the efforts we go through, especially after all the hours and days Sahib (the owner) spends at the counter frowning, harassing and arguing with customers, such a verdict is not just unjustified...but completely uncalled for" argues Rhondulal, the Kitchen Head at the restaurant. "It's as if all our work doesn't count, as if it's just...(struggling for words) completely ignored" adds Rhondulal, visibly shaken if not disturbed by the news.
The poll was held 2 days ago on ANFSnsCD's top secret online polling platform. Despite the relatively short voting time period of 10 minutes, a large number of votes were observed, a clear majority of which favored Sip N Bite over other notable entries like Holistic Food Center and FX.
It is believed that within hours of hearing of this development, the owner of Sip N Bite tried to commit suicide by consuming large, unhealthy amounts of the restaurant's Sambar.
While the restaurant management categorically rejected this incident in a statement made later in the day, inside sources tell ANFSnsCD that at this very moment the owner is recovering from the overdose, most likely at the nearby AIIMS trauma center. "The effect is more psychological than physical" asserts an inside source, who doesn't wish to be named. "And I'm not just talking about the Sambar, imagine everything you worked for in your life, everything you believed in...gone in an instant".
In the meanwhile, fallen morale is among the least of the restaurant's immediate concerns. Apparently, Sip N Bite is having a tough time finding a temporary substitute to service the counter in the owner's absence. "Not just everyone can be pissed off every single moment of the day- 24x7x365. Listen, just because of this poll, we are not going to change the way we work around here. We will look only for a suitable replacement, if we can't find one we will wait !" thunders Rhondulal. "This incident has only taught us to work harder" he adds, with roars of approval from the staff. There are rumors that, in light of recent developments, the self service policy is to be extended to include cleaning your own plates after eating, keeping them back and wiping the table clean, all under the supervision and guidance of the waiters. Furthermore all return change will be given out in denominations of Cadbury Fruit and Nut, Dairy Milk, 5 Star, Eclair and an assortment of chewing gums.
Says our inside source "Just wait and watch, I bet you my staff canteen card (where we really eat) this is not going to happen ever again".
