| - After flying in to Toronto, picking up our rental car and preparing to head into the office, I decided to have a quick lunch at Thai Express in the Yorkdale Mall, near the office. BIG MISTAKE. Out of all the choices in the food court, I chose this? Why?
This place is insanely busy. Guess lots of people want to get their Thai on at lunch. We get up to the counter. We order fried rice and pad thai. When I attempt to pay using my credit card, I'm told they only accept debit. I give the clerk my debit card, which clearly says debit and I'm told they don't accept it. I try proving to the clerk that it is, in fact debit, before becoming frustrated. I give her cash and ask sarcastically if they accept cash. We wait for 10 minutes. Our dishes are prepared. We were never given our drinks and had to return to the same server to request our drinks. She'd forgotten if we paid for them at this point and attempted to dispute. Look. Bottom line. Whole lot of drama for very little in return. Avoid the confusion, the hassle and the lack of taste, hit up one of the other vendors at the food court. You'll leave full, satisfied and with lower blood pressure. Also- tip- they only fill fountain drinks half way, so order the bottle. At least you'll know what you're getting. Thai Express- the express train to lunch hell.
