| - I cannot in good conscience keep Beach Shawarma at a 4-star rating.
After my previous visit I went back and the drink fridge was fully stocked. BUT THERE WERE STILL NO DIET DRINKS. A *fully* stocked fridge with a couple dozen different drinks to choose from but not *one* diet choice? Poor business decision.
Secondly, fish was available... but I realized... you know what? It's fantastically bad here. At a $5.99 plate special, don't get me wrong, the price is still right. But I mean... the outside is brown rubber and the inside is pink mush. Only those with my standards deem such things edible.
Thirdly- STOP REFERRING TO THE ITEM ON THE MENU ABOVE YOU AND ASKING ME IF THAT'S WHAT I WANT WHEN I ASK FOR ONE OF THE ITEMS ON YOUR SANDWICH BOARD'S *SPECIALS.* For the reader, allow me to translate:
"Can I have the fish plate"
"Sure, can I rip you off and sell it to you for the price above me?"
"No, I saw the sandwich board outside and I am fully aware both the 'special' fish plate and the 'menu' fish plate are the exact same thing, so please give it to me for 3 to 4 dollars cheaper."
"Okay."
I get it, you're running a business. But yo. I've been in here a couple dozen times and when I walk right up and order without even looking at the menu... come on. It's become insulting. Is it because I'm white?
(Next time they ask if I want the 'Menu' fish plate- I have an urge to say... "I'll take one Special fish plate, and one Menu fish plate." And just soak in all the awkwardness that oozes from filling my order, to charging me at the cash register. Never breaking eye contact.)
UPDATE: I have a stomach of iron and it's legitimately upset (never happens). I think the pinkness of that fish was... something not to brush off. smh. Beach Shawarma, don't make me start calling you BS...
