plus, there was an effort to call the helen manager person back. that could have been the restos chance to explain but helen opted to ignore a paying customer. dun sila mali at dahil dun talagang they’ll receive bad reviews.

i own a resto myself so u can’t say im being partial to the writer of this blog. im just stating basic rules of customer service.

In a manner of true etiquette, if you’re going to give a public (since you’re posting this on the net) review of it (which btw, what you are doing now), one should also have noted and considered that, no establishment would like a blind review of their service, food quality, etc. it wasn’t a public establishment, but rather a private business for public service and food consumption.

and just as what you are doing now: one sided review, taking pictures, and subjective food critic is just what they’re trying to point out. kawawa naman the owner, not being able to voice out their own side to what happened.

In Sydney, we were stopped from taking photos at the Gelatissimo stand in Circular Quay. Their display shows mounds of gelato garnished with representative ingredients (strawberries for strawberry gelato, etc.). Their gelato is still yummy though so we do go back. I think it was only because I was so obviously shooting the food one time — they generally don’t complain when we pretend to be tourists and have a person in the pic.

Some of them give me permission, others don’t. I dunno… Perhaps some restos think they’re banks or museums.

See, it’s beyond me why that waiter at Olde Spaghetti House wouldn’t want you to take a picture of your friend — your friend!

Worry and paranoia over imitation could probably be the one overriding factor that makes these people think that cameras and the people who tote them are the enemy.
Too bad for them. I don’t need their business.
