    Can you elaborate on 'dealing with staff'- as in they're rude? Or having to wait? You mention you book online. Do you find that process tedious? I agree overall it always had a god…

    This is a slippery slope. You have to keep in mind that >2% (some estimates as high as 7%) of Google Queries are related to lyrics/ RG related content. They also (arguably) have mu…
