We
frequented
this
place
for
years.
The
food
has
been
great.
The
service
is
so
horrible
that
I
can’t
describe
it.
The
fellow
who
waits
tables,
handles
cashiering,
and
works
take
out
is
a
BIG
problem.
He
has
been
rude
and
abrupt
for
years.
We
overlooked
him
because
the
food
was
great.
So
we
stopped
eating
in
and
began
ordering
to
go.
Still
could
not
avoid
him,
but
at
least
we
limited
the
contact.
Even
then
for
the
past
few
years
his
unfriendly
attitude
and
abrupt
manner
has
been
tolerated.
We
have
attempted
to
be
overly
nice
and
sensitive
to
him,
even
attempting
small
talk
with
little
or
no
response.
He
seems
to
dislike
everyone
equally.
On
the
last
6
trips
I
have
made
there
he
has
become
increasingly
rude,
even
hostile.
But
the
last
time
was
the
ultimate
abuse.
I
entered,
placed
my
to
go
order,
and
expecting
more
of
his
abruptness
I
complimented
him
on
how
he
ran
the
tables
and
take
out.
He
actually
seemed
offended
that
I
spoke
to
him.
I
simply
moved
aside
and
waited
patiently
as
usual.
Unbelievably,
he
coldly
asked
if
I
wanted
a
“drink”
while
waiting.
I
was
stunned!
What
a
breakthrough!
I
smiled
and
asked
him,
“water
or
tea
OK?”
He
said
,”Yesa.”
(He
adds
an
“a”
to
most
words.).
I
thanked
him
and
poured
myself
some
tea.
Thinking
that
there
was
actually
SOME
niceness
under
his
demeanor,
I
figured
that
the
owner
must
see
something
that
customers
did
not.
As
I
sat
at
the
table
waiting,
he
stepped
out
from
behind
the
cash
register,
walked
toward
my
table,
stopped
three
feet
away,
produced
another
check
for
me,
bent
forward,
and
tossed
the
check
on
my
table.
Very
derisively
he
forced
a
smile
and
sarcastically
said
to
me,
“I
SAIDA
WATERA!
YOU
MUSTA
PAY
FORA
THE
TEA!”
He
abruptly
turned
and
walked
away.
I
was
stunned.
When
he
told
me
my
order
was
ready,
I
picked
it
up
and
meekly
said,”I’m
sorry,
but
I
distinctly
asked,
“Water
OR
tea?””
He
said
“No,
I
saidaTEA!”
I
smiled,
paid
for
the
tea,
and
left.
The
owner
should
have
stopped
this
behavior
years
ago.
Enough
is
enough.
I
won’t
return
even
though
I
continue
to
receive
invites
and
discounts.
What
the
owner
needs
to
know
is
that
his
employee’s
actions
over
the
tea
incident
have
cost
him
dearly.
This
last
affront
can’t
be
overlooked
any
longer,
even
by
sending
me
a
monthly
invite
with
discounts.
I
can
only
wonder
how
much
business
Sokols
would
have
if
a
bit
of
courtesy
and
friendliness
were
offered
along
with
good
food???
I
service
the
public
every
day.
I
NEVER
have
treated
a
customer
in
this
rude
and
sarcastic
manner.
And,
by
the
way,
I
am
78
years
old!
