This information should be shared with everyone. It will help keep people safe at home and in restaurants. Anyone eating or cooking should follow these procedures.
First of all, I can’t stand the automated voice. with thousands of people paying almost 10 dollars per card, you can pay a voice actor to do your course. Do not participate in the choking out of talented jobs.
Secondly, what’s with the spelling and grammar errors? I regret supporting this course but unfortunately I already have so you can keep my money.
