Today weather was cool and nice. I love rainy days, so I was in my happy mood. I met up with TF in a shopping mall and being in a shopping mall makes me even happier. So I met her colleagues for a while, chitchat a bit and then proceeded to do some shopping. I bought a dress with a 50% discount ..which makes my day even better! But my perfectly happy day was ruined when we ate in this Old Town kopitiam. That guy (see picture above) is a waiter there.
At first, we were serve by different waiters which were all very nice, polite and friendly. I ordered their nasi lemak, toast bread and lemon tea. I finished my sambal before I even finish half of my rice, so I asked one of the waiter if I could have more sambal. The waiter smiled and said OK but another waiter (see above picture again) butted in and told us that we need to pay for the extra sambal. I was a little bit shocked at this actually. If we really need to pay for the extra sambal, how come the earlier waiter didn't say anything? Anyway, I asked him "how much will that be?". He said "50 sen!" , so we said "Ok, no problem." So, my sambal came(the size of those tiny condiment sauce bowl-not 50 sen worth) and I continued enjoying my nasi lemak. Then when I was about 3/4 done with my nasi lemak, this pabo waiter came again and slapped a receipt on our table and said "Please pay!" and walked off. Wahlan eh, ..... me and TF just stare at each other open mouth trying to recover from the rudeness of this waiter. I'm sure if he were to put it in a way like "I'm sorry we're closing soon but if you would kindly make your payment"..or something polite, we would gladly do so. I noticed there were a few other customers that had just gotten their food and it was only 9-ish. However, I quickly wolfed down my nasi lemak and was just drinking my lemon tea ...when THIS RUDE WAITER CAME AGAIN and said "Please make your payment!!" . The other waiters didn't even rush us. We were so maddddddd.... I told him " WHEN I'M FINISH WITH MY FOOD, THEN I'll WALK TO THE COUNTER AND PAY!! . SO CAN I FINISH MY FOOD FIRST???!!!"
He quickly scramble off without apologizing or whatsoever. Then when another waiter pass-by, I ask him " Is he (pointing to that rude waiter) your boss or something like that?". The waiter told me no and I informed him " He's very rude!". Blardee hell... I'm not sure about Old Town policy, but I've never been to any other restaurant that require me to pay extra for some sambal... and I've NEVER EVER BEEN FORCED to make my payment like that before!!!
He's in the service industry so it's no excuse for him to be so impolite to the customers.
Therefore, I have no choice but to award him a place in my Hall Of Shame.
Thanks for being occupant number 2 and accompanying Zana .
