| - Honestly... I never in my life felt more discriminated about my race. Maybe it's because I live in an area that is very diversity that I don't notice ignorant judgement based on traits that we are born with.
Let me explain the horrific experience I had here a few days ago... My friends reserved a table as we were getting ready for our evening get together. We were excited to eat a multi course meal in Vegas because we expected the food to be great with at least decent service... our appetizers took more than an HOUR to arrive... I would understand that if it was a complex dish, however we only ordered soup and salads... and we asked multiple waiters when our next dish would come out.. and they both said once they clear our table they can bring out the next course.. it only took them half an hour to realize we were done and another 15 min to finally clear our table. The restaurant only had 5 tables occupied and didn't seem to notice the only table with asians... we asked for our 2nd course multiple times before receiving it... not only because it took so long, but because people who came an hour before us ordered the exact same thing and they finished their main meal before we even got ours... the waiter and waitress weren't even polite or apologetic about it... the addressed others "sir" or "ma'am" but when we attempt to wave them down... "it's coming" or "like I said, it's coming"... and then they would speed past us... the only thing they would do was occasionally refill our water and half of the amount they pours splashed around... and when we said thank you... we would get a respond like "mhmm" or have them say you're welcome in a passive aggressive way. The first time we asked for the manager, he doesn't even stop at our table. As he walks past our table he says "it's coming"... At this point we are furious, but in fear of tampering with our main dish and dessert we hold our tongues. Before the main dish arrived the couple in the table had to leave and gave us cash for their share. While they were gone we asked them to box up their share since they were leaving. Before we got our food, me and a friend took their seats to be closer to everyone else... for some reason they remember that the people that were gone sat at our seat and put the boxes in front of us and put our dishes on the far side of the table where we sat. We informed them that those were our dishes and they told us they put orders down by the place we were seated. So I had to walk to my plate and replace the warm and heavy plate in front of where I was now sitting... I was angry and had asked them, "can you please move my friend's plate, because she has a bad arm?" The waiter looked at me and said, " you want me to move that?" I said yes and he rolled his eyes and got the plate for her... since we realized the pattern that each of Our courses took an hour... we asked them to serve the dessert right away because we were already running late... he nodded yes and walked away. You could tell our meat was just thrown onto the plate, disregarding any request we made... for example... 2 of my friends ordered medium rare and they got a combination of rare and medium well slices on their plate... And my friend who is like a sister to me asked for well done and she got nearly rare slices of prime rib... Because we were late to our other plans she tried to eat it... I wish she hadn't because she got sick and threw up later that night... after finishing we asked the waiter for our dessert we asked for before hand and I will never forget the words he said, " Look... like I've been telling you, we serve after your dishes are cleared" My friend was outraged, but calmly mentioned how we requested for it out as soon as possible and it didn't happen... and he went back to the kitchen and returned again... another hour later with our food... then we demanded the manager that previously walked past us and only two of us got to express their thoughts... before he told us "there's nothing we could do." The only Cajun looking person pulled aside the manager and had agreed to reduce the price of our meal to a certain price... we were content with the news until we received the bill 30min later with $100 more than what was agreed upon by the waiter who was very rude to us but scared at this point... my friend said that was not the price the manager agreed on... and insisted that it was (as if he was in that conversation). Then she said "let's go to your manager... right now". He said "but-" as she stormed off to find him. After sometimes she came back angry and said let's go... she paid our bill and told us to pay her back later... and we didn't question her because we all wanted to leave so desperately...
We went to Vegas for a company trip where about 100 of us come to meet each other from all over California. I am the event coordinator for the company but I do not see us coming back solely because of how we were treated...
