Service Hearts, Quality Minds
s t a r m | s t September 12th, 2007
One Friday evening, I went to NYDC at Wheelock Place with Sister and some xtomicers.
Sister ordered ”Spaghetti Bolognese”, Hina ordered ”3 Amigos” and both Ahdai and I ordered a “2 Become 1″ each.
Our “2 Become 1″ literally became 2 become 1 because the chef forgot my order. *sulk* I was quietly banging my fists on the table, and whining about my lost “2 Become 1″ when my dear friends, knowing my infamous ‘attitude’ towards bad service, happily flicked a feedback form for me to show my displeasure. Ahem.
I was writing on it when a waiter saw it and went to seek out the chefs reallyreallyreallyfast. My food came reallyreallyreallyfast too.
To give Mr Waiter some.. credit, I added a second more forgiving line in addition to my initial harsh comment.
Shannie showing attitude on my behalf.
Before we knew it, Paul the Waiter presented me us with a plate of brownie [which I have mentioned to the xtomicers earlier on that I feel like eating it], compliments of NYDC.
In-te-res-ting.
We demolished half the brownie before I remembered to take a photo of it.
I decided to be nicer and added another liner at the side of the feedback form. So it ended up looking like this.
When we stood up to leave, ALL the staff half-bowed at us and said cheerfully “Thank you! See you again!” Woah. While walking away, we saw one waiter snatching up the feedback form and reading it before putting it away together with other feedback forms. Hur hur.
We joked about calculating the cost each person has to pay, down to the exact cent, and he gamely whipped out this calculator. Ha ha!
The power of the written word hmm?
IDD 2007 looks hip and happening and different from all the previous IDDs!
