"They're the best investment I've ever made," she said. "It may
sound cliche, but if you're smart and you want to be successful,
then you need to take care of the people that are taking care of
you. And that's not necessarily always the customer first. It's
your employees first. And with my being a small, minority
business, I can't compete with larger businesses and what they
can offer their employees. So you know, you damn well better be
nicer."


Ma Michele's Cafe is located at 10811 Hull Street Road in
Midlothian. Call 804-912-1644 to order lunch or dinner.
