The food at Showars is always really good so I stopped here for a Greek salad with gyro. The restaurant itself is spacious and nice. I took my number and realized it had cheese on the underside from someone else's previous meal. Gross. It was about 2:45 on Tues afternoon so it was quiet and not many quests. I sat down near there large tv so I could have something to watch while I ate since I was actually waisting time. The dinning room attendant brought me my food and when I showed her the cheese on the card she immediately cleaned it off and brought me a paper towel with sanitizer on it.
I then asked her if she could change the station on the tv because it was on ESPN and I wasn't really interested in what was on. She said she didn't know she'd have to ask her manager. Fair enough. I asked if we could at least put on closed caption since it was a news program and I couldn't hear anything. I do understand about turning the volume up in a restaurant I agree because sometimes I don't want to hear somebody else watching TV while I'm having a nice meal.
When she returned she had another employee with her. She tried to turn up the volume but there was no sound. I said I wasn't interested and sound just the closed caption. Then they told me they didn't think the television had it. I explained to them all TVs now have close caption. I told them not to worry about it I just had wished I could at least know what they're saying on the television even though I didn't really care what was on.
The dining room attendant returned again and informed me it was restaurant policy not to have sound on. I again told her I wasn't interested in hearing it I just wanted to be able to know what they were saying since it was a news show that was on, so if she could put on the closed caption that would be great. She then told me that it was a restaurant television and it didn't have any sound or closed caption. That she was told that everything has been disabled. I told her I didn't believe that was true that it should at least have closed caption but it wasn't that big of a deal I would sit there and try and read lips. Lol I don't understand why restaurants put big TVs in their restaurants and then don't put on closed caption. Beats me, but at least when I asked she at least tried even though she made up some cockamamie story and the more she talked the dumber she sounded. No Manager ever came out to do anything with the TV.
I would come back just because it's Showmars and they have good food. This is actually not the Showmars I usually dine in anyway. The Showmars I go to actually has closed caption on the television. LOL
