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.
