| - Let me set the stage: I work in Fayetteville, live in Charlotte. I worked 72 hour nights in 6 nights, and it was my first day off. I slept for about 3 hours (until noon) and drove back sans coffee. I got home, completed a few errands and decided I didn't want to go grocery shopping or go out to eat because I felt exhausted. So, I scoured yelp to find a place to eat. I wanted to try the greek place, but their kitchen is being remodeled. So, I decided to order some street tacos and a trio dip from Three Amigos. The tacos looked (from the pictures) like something I would get from a Taco truck in California, which is a plus. She told me 10 minutes, not a problem. I gave them a bit more time because I was moving slow.
I drove to place, didn't see parking in the front and took a chance to drive around the back of the store (there is some parking back there). I walked my exhausted self into the restaurant and walked over to the bar area. The girl behind the bar went over to a take out bag, but I quickly noticed it wasn't my order, that she was restocking plasticware. No problem. I sat at the bar stool and waited to be acknowledged... Nothing... Then 2 other girls walked behind the counter. I was looking at the 3 of them, waiting to make eye contact and be acknowledged. One girl made eye contact with me for about 15 seconds, then walked away to continue doing whatever she was doing. I just waited for them to finish what they were doing to acknowledge me, and ask if they could help me.... NOTHING. Then, 2 other girls walked into the restaurant and the initial girl behind the bar LOOKS PAST ME AT THEM and says, "Two of you".
I'm pretty forgiving and can put up with a lot, but being blatantly ignored and then passed over is not one of them. I'm not a scary looking person (although I was pretty exhausted and felt scary looking). So, I stood up, put my debit card back into my wallet, zipped it up and walked out. Still... unacknowledged.
Ironically, a friend was at Three Amigos and was shocked by my treatment. She recommended that I go to the Moroccan place next door, and I'm glad she did. You can see that review later, but let's just say they were super friendly, and I got my food super quick.
