Bill for me.
Patel's, in India, are way up there on the food chain. I've known one that wasn't that way, however. "When in Rome"...apparently doesn't make since to alot of people, no matter what language they speak.

My experience to that Indians always want to bargain. Not to sterotype, I've also found that people who live in the wealthy neighborhoods are much more likely to do that too. I prefer to do work for middle to upper middle class. The rich neighborhoods are spoiled by every new lco going in there thinking that's where the money is. Those jobs have been underbid forever.
