| - I don't know if they were having an off day. But the servers were rude as f. First of all, I've never had the spicy chicken before and we were only two people so we asked how it worked. They said we could only order two portions. The person I was with wanted to make sure- for some unknown reason- so she asked another waiter. He explained that we had to order two portions because it would look empty otherwise.
Ok, cool. I understand that they might get this question all the time from newbies and it might get annoying. But that's life and their job to help the clientele figure out the menu.
Here is where it gets weird. The waitress, who admittedly was nice at the start, drops off our tea and tells us we can press the buzzer if we needed anyone. No one ever heeded our buzzer. The guy with the glasses came by and refilled our tea and oddly, after dropping off the kettle, brush his hands together, like "I wash my hands of you guys" kind of motion.
No matter, maybe we misinterpreted ( highly doubtful though). The waitress drops off our spicy chicken and cheese dish. Disappears.
We don't see anyone for the next while. I was jokingly saying I should google how it works because I had no idea how to cook it. No one came by and checked on us, explain, or offered to cook it for us. When another table ordered the dish, I saw that they helped cook the food.
I was frankly amazed but thought maybe, they thought we handled the cooking and knew what we doing.
We then tried to get our bill because we were feeling oddly unwelcomed- for asking a question about the dishes perhaps????- the guy goes ok.
Vanishes. We see him drop off another bill at another table. At this point, my friend is getting upset and keeps on repeatedly gesturing at the waiters and waitresses passing by. No one stops. We pressed the button, no one came.
The drink station was right by our table. So out of desperation she starts gesturing and asking "can we get our bill"? EVERYONE IGNORES HER for a good five minutes. At this point, she raises her voice slightly and asks for her bill.
Finally, the waitress looks up. Now maybe she could have handled the situation better, and just quietly sat there for the 20 minutes while someone got her bill but she didn't.
We felt truly unwelcome from the beginning to end. I don't know if it was a race thing but this is Canada, a land of different communities and colours. What a bunch of passive aggressive RACIST BULLSHIT.
