I think I have only left one other review before in my life, but I can't pass this one up. I have a…read moreVERY peculiar experience. Get a load of this...
So I went there with my family of 5 because they wanted to go, my gpa's treat, but I wasn't hungry. Basically I was there to just drink some water and order something to go for later. My gpa is hard of hearing. Me, I am deaf in one ear. I'm very much a please and thank you, look you in your eyes for confirmation, non-confrontational type of person. So there's absolutely nothing I would've done to deserve this kind of experience here, ever. Please note that the waitress took our orders standing on my deaf side. Well, in the middle of my order she interrupted me, apparently asking if it was all on one check, but I didn't hear. There was an awkward silence and my family was staring blankly at each other. I assumed she was done with my order and was waiting for my husband next, but he had a mouthful of chips. So I look at him and then I look back at her, and she's still looking at me as if frustrated. Her whole demeanor from the get go was bleeding frustration/impatience. Then she passive aggressively asked if it was all on one check. Again, no one else answered. I was already confused by this whole interaction, but for some reason she was very persistent on ME specifically answering the question. So I shrugged my shoulders and politely said it wasn't my decision while looking at my gpa to see if he heard her, since he planned to treat everyone, but he looked confused. My husband answered instead saying it was all on one check. My gpa did pay, I later found out that he understood the whole exchange just as little as I did. He was just stunned about her manners.
So everyone else's food comes, and for whatever reason the waitress thought it was appropriate to pass everyone's plates to only me, mere inches from my face. She just held their plates to my face until I grabbed them and passed them out one by one. She even made contact with my cheek with a basket of chips. I'll add that there was ample space to walk around our table. After she left, I couldn't help but lightheartedly ask my family "is it just me? Which one of you set her off?"
When my family was finished with their food, mine gets brought out by some other guy, and it's not in a to go box like I asked. The waitress is nowhere to be found, and the guy hurries off laughing with coworkers before I could catch him. I'm like, no big deal, I'll ask for a box when we leave. We sat there for quite awhile waiting for someone, anyone, to come back.
ANOTHER guy comes back to check on things, and that's when I mentioned that mine was supposed to be to go. He immediately got defensive and said he wasn't told that, and I said it's okay, I'd just like a box please (looking for a reason to make me argue maybe?) The waitress comes back, aggressively rips the check out of the book, hands it to me and says "HERE". Then walks away. She picked the right one, cause had it have been anyone else, they probably would've been ready to fight over the audacity.
I felt assaulted, like ganged up on or something. It made no sense. My family has regularly eaten here for 20 years, but this one experience was so out of pocket and shocking enough for all of us to decide to never eat there again.
The waitress is, I believe one of the only women there, so beware of the women I guess, especially if she looks at you like she smells something bad all the time.
