these employees who are not arabic are treated like slaves... make them take only 30min break instead of 1hr break... if they dont report for work 1day, they have to pay 1working day unpaid for being absent the previous day! if they are late, 50dhs is deducted from their salary in which they only earn 30dhs per day base on their 900dhs basic salary... do you think this is humane enough to treat asian people in that restaurant??!! just bcoz we are not arabs??!! this is what you call ABUSE and Maltreatment...!!!

NOW, I am requesting follow expats LETS BOYCOT THIS RESTAURANT coz the Owner himself doesnt care since his business is doing good... please pass the word around amongst fellow asians...

You had a good argument, but when you pointed out that "we are not arabs" it went downhill. Wafi has Egyptian's that handle the sheesha, get paid crap and I'm sure that they are subject to the same policies. So, don't think than when an Arab is a waiter he gets preferential treatment over non-Arab waiters and waitresses.
