Later,the most angry part came. We went to the counter to show the coupon to a female receptionist and were ready to take money out.She looked at us after checking the coupon, then asked us quite loudly:”you are not allowed to use it! You guys must take this coupon from other tables!”. She stared at us disrespectfully while she was speaking. What? We were shocked, so we paused for a few seconds, then got angry by her offensive accusation. She must get something wrong!
So then,my brother answered back immediately, he told the receptionist that one of them gave him this coupon two days ago, and that person told him that he could use it next time.But the receptionist still insisted/believed that we lied to her because of the date which on the coupon.She pointed to the date,which was the day of that day, and explained to us very rudely and impatiently :“we will stamp your coupon with a date of the day you are here and have payed for it, but you guys haven’t done it yet, look at the date! Look at it! It’s today! there’s no way you could have gotten it! So it is clear enough that you guys took it or stole it from other tables or someone else!”.
It was more than angry when we heard that, it made our blood boil! Her ill-mannered language to make matters worse .We argued for a while and then we asked them to get their costumer manager here to handle it.
As it turned out, the staff stamped a wrong date on our coupon. Finally, it was solved with their apologize, and I don’t remember if they gave us any thing as a token, because it didn’t matter anymore, they ruined our dinner successfully.
Further more/moreover, I found a surprise /彩蛋 when I was looking at the receipt, I found out that we didn’t receive our corn at the end which we already payed for /which we had payed for! For the above-mentioned reasons,I gave a very bad feedback to this restaurant on a famous platform and we have never gone back to that restaurant ever since.
