Interesting
experience
this
time.
I
had
been
there
a
couple
of
times
before
to
eat
the
goulash
soup
in
bread.
It
just
seems
as
if
the
quality
of
the
waiting
staff
declined
in
a
particular
way
since
my
last
visit
two
years
ago.
I
was
told
before
about
a
latent
racist
mentality
and
contempt
against
foreigners
in
the
general
Czech
population,
starting
from
little
jabs
against
foreign
citizens
over
pretended
non-
or
misunderstanding
of
czech
language
spoken
by
foreign
citizens
to
difficulties
in
getting
appointments
for
medical
treatments
or
a
denial
of
being
served
in
restaurants.
My
visit
in
Old
Prague
last
evening
is
the
first
time
I
directly
experienced
such
latent
racism:
while
the
czech
customers
sitting
around
us
were
attended
to
normally,
my
friend
and
me
were
repeatedly
ignored.
Despite
my
friend
having
grown
up
in
Prague
and
being
fluent
in
Czech,
her
slight
russian
accent
apparently
was
enough
for
the
first
waitress
to
repeatedly
pretend
to
misunderstand
even
the
simplest
orders
and
to
insist
on
addressing
us
in
relatively
bad
English.
Additionally,
we
were
not
served
the
ordered
soup
in
bread,
but
instead
a
(seemingly
smaller)
portion
of
soup
in
a
cup
together
with
a
few
slices
of
bread,
of
course
for
the
same
price.
This
already
strongly
resembled
the
usual
trickery
against
tourists
that
is
relatively
prevalent
at
tourist
destinations
in
Central
Europe.
We
decided
to
ignore
this
and
even
go
for
a
desert.
We
called
a
second
waiter
to
order
a
pancake
and
a
portion
of
Strudel,
in
czech
language
together
with
some
additional
pointing
at
the
menu.
No
way
we
could
have
been
misunderstood;
my
knowledge
of
Czech
is
rudimentary
at
best,
but
even
I
understood
that
my
friend
clearly
told
him
we
would
like
to
order
it.
This
was
followed
by
us
sitting
and
waiting
for
45
minutes,
being
consequently
ignored
by
the
staff.
Run
out
of
patience,
my
friend
called
the
waiter
over
a
second
time
(took
several
attempts
to
get
him
to
come,
the
waitress
actually
in
charge
for
our
table
simply
ignored
us),
asking
for
the
bill
and
asking
what
was
going
on
with
the
desert.
The
guy
was
(or
acted)
surprised
we
even
ordered
something.
Apparently,
he
simply
forgot
the
order
during
the
2m
walk
to
the
kitchen.
Or
did
he
just
not
convey
the
order?
Apparently
worried
that
the
laughable
service
might
cause
us
to
leave
without
paying,
the
original
waitress
turned
up
with
the
bill,
still
pretending
to
not
understand
Czech
(and
yes,
she
was
Czech).
Clearly
we
didn't
give
any
tip
for
that
"service",
we
didn't
find
ourselves
in
the
trash
after
all.
This
caused
them
to
be
irritated
and
gossip
about
us
in
Czech,
calling
me
a
Nazi
(I
guess
she
saw
on
my
smartphone
that
I'm
German).
The
place
is
not
cheap
either.
Plus
subpar
food.
Avoid
at
all
costs!
