She was wearing black shirt and pants on 09-02-25). When she asked to clear my plate, I said I was still eating. I had placed my spoon and fork together on the right side of the plate, and instead of simply accepting my response, she grabbed my utensils, moved the fork to the left and the spoon to the right, and gave unsolicited, condescending advice about how they should be placed "if I was still eating." It was intrusive and humiliating. Then, as if that wasn't enough, she sent her coworker to ask again if I was done eating--clearly trying to rush us out.
Her attitude from the start was cold and dismissive. When I asked for a recommendation between two dishes, she snapped, "Both are delicious," with an irritated expression, as if my question was a waste of her time.
I left in tears and wished we had chosen other restaurants to dine in. Later at the lake, I spoke with two other Asian families and shared what happened. They were so disturbed, they said they wouldn't eat there either.
I had never felt discriminated and humiliated until today. Hope she would not do this to other customers.
