Hello all. Rafael speaking. Many of you know me from behind the bar at your favorite local restaurant, whether that's Win Son, Winona's, or Roberta's.

Frankly, I can't believe I'm resorting to panhandling...but I can't believe the position I'm in either.

For the past three years, I've had the privilege of serving my community at Roberta's. I planted strong roots there: with the company as well as the family of local regulars who've made it what it is.

Yesterday, I was unceremoniously fired by the new management team over the phone. Due to ongoing investigations into the targeted and unethical nature of the matter, I'll keep the details private. I assure you they are mundane in any case.

I'm intimately familiar with the tendencies of mobs, so LET ME BE CLEAR: I have nothing but love for Roberta's and the people I've worked alongside there. You might have seen my "Young At Heart" music video. My affection is evident. Do not punish Roberta's for the mistakes made by the new middle management.

...Instead, please lend me a hand! This situation has abruptly left me without income while I figure out my next steps, and I could use a little help bridging the gap.

Thank you for being my community. I hope to serve you all something delicious very soon.
