Where have all the waiters/waitresses gone to?

I had lunch at Applebee's in Abu Halaifa last week and noticed the staff was all new. There were only a few Filipino waiters/waitresses left. The new staff was Egyptians. Where have all the Filipinos gone to? Sorry, but the they make the best staff for restaurants. They understand me and I can understand them as well. I know Buffalo's replaced the staff with waiters from India a couple years ago. I'm sure most of the Filipinos have gone to KBOSS contract on Arifjan, it's a lot more money for them. I say congrats but now it's a little more complicated trying to order at the restaurants in my area.

I've heard it's really expensive to recruit Filipinos as a lot of them have some type of hospitality degree. One American guy who married one of the Filipina waitresses was asked to pay 1000 KD for her release. I think the Egyptian manager was trying to make some money. He might have had to pay back her recruiting cost but 1000 KD? Sorry but it's sometimes difficult to understand Indian and Egyptian waiters so I let my husband order in Arabic in hopes they understood what I wanted. It's a shame, the old Filipino manager was a really nice guy. Times are changing...
