Or if you were the owner who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on professional decorations, table clothes, silverware, real estate rent, taxes, insurance, etc. and some $5 subway folks come in and take up space that other customers would otherwise occupy so they can schmooze/network with clients to attempt to make themselves rich?
