| - Good crepe, but at 10$, you would think that the owner could adjust her attitude a bit. Perhaps things are different in France, but in North America, the restaurant business is also known as the hospitality industry, meaning that it is a service-oriented industry. I had personally been to Paris in the past and never met a French person with such awful attitude until today.
I had brought tea during my first visit to the shop and no one had said anything about it. Today, being my second visit, I brought a Starbucks latte into the shop and was ``told`` that this was unwelcomed, having the owner screaming at my server in French instructing her to take away my coffee, while I was in the midst of my meal.
Seeing the confused look on my face, the owner behind the cash register quickly walked over my table, grabbed onto my lid and told me that ``In Canada, you do not bring outside drinks to restaurants. I am nice enough so I let you.`` Her words, not mine. I was dumbfounded, while the server poured majority of my drink into a coffee mug. Moreover, it was not rush hour at the time - there was only one other table in the restaurant, I did not understand why she had to yell. After finishing my food, I politely asked if I could have the rest of my latte, to which she replied there was none left. It was a venti latte that I took couple of sips of, which is way more than the amount of one average sized coffee mug.
Good food, the servers are very friendly, it`s a shame that the owner has such a strong sense of entitlement. While I understand where she is coming from in terms of her beverage policy, her vibe and attitude had made me extremely uncomfortable and I was unable to enjoy my meal.
Luckily, I am in Canada, and I`d much rather take my business elsewhere.
