I
have
been
going
to
Veggie
Vedic
for
many
years,
our
beloved
restaurant
that
I
would
travel
many
miles
to
every
few
months.
I
brought
my
parents
and
friends
on
many
occasions
because
as
I
couldn't
wait
to
share
the
beautiful
welcome
of
the
owners
and
have
them
taste
their
amazing
cooking
skills.
I
got
to
know
the
owners
and
I
valued
their
efforts
and
warm
welcome
we
would
always
receive.
So
why
not
go
for
Christmas
day
I
thought?
I'll
bring
my
family
and
introduce
another
friend
to
Vedic,
share
a
beautiful
home
cooked
meal
supporting
our
favourite
independent
restaurant.
Little
did
I
know
this
decision
turned
out
be
a
mistake.
I
booked
the
reservation
a
month
in
advance
receiving
confirmation.
2
days
before
Christmas
I
received
a
call
from
vedic
explaining
a
large
party
had
recently
booked
so
could
I
arrive
earlier?
I
explained
I
couldn't
arrive
earlier
is
that
ok?
they
said
"no
problem
come
down."
Christmas
day,
we
arrive
on
time
for
our
reservation.
We
were
greeted
by
a
waitress
with
a
very
sturn
and
stressed
face
who
took
our
starter
orders
and
pushed
for
our
mains.
I
explained
I
would
like
to
order
the
starters
first
without
being
rushed
as
I
had
travelled
some
distance
and
don't
want
to
rush
our
Christmas
day
meal.
Shortly
after
the
starters
arrives
a
familiar
waitress
approaches
(apologies
I
have
forgotten
her
name,
she
is
the
wife
of
owner
Rahul)
explaining
that
a
large
party
will
be
arriving
shortly
so
could
we
please
hurry,
I
kindly
explained
that
we
will
not
be
rushing,
it's
Christmas
day,
we
booked
in
advance
and
their
lack
of
organisation
skills
are
not
my
problem.
She
replies
"ok"
then
leaves.
After
finishing
our
mains
Rahul's
wife
approaches
again
but
this
time
informs
us
we
cannot
eat
any
mains
in
the
restaurant,
but
if
we
place
an
order
and
take
out
they
will
give
us
free
of
charge.
Can
you
imagine
the
frustration
and
shock
of
myself
and
family,
on
Christmas
day
being
chucked
out
having
been
given
this
unfair
ultimatum.
In
essence,
Vedic
received
a
large
booking
after
other
customers
had
placed
their
booking
(well
in
advance)
and
threw
our
their
'valued'
customers
(as
they
say
on
Facebook)
because
profit
clearly
matters
more
than
any
values
they
evidently
don't
have.
We
were
penalised
due
to
a
lack
of
their
organisational
structure.
I
explained
they
had
ruined
our
Christmas
day
and
would
not
be
returning
to
a
place
who
values
profit
and
lacks
integrity.
Sorry
Vedic,
very
disappointed
after
seeing
how
you
treat
valued
customers.
Won't
be
returning.
