| - Go For Tea - we have a love-hate relationship... I go there because coffee gets boring after awhile, and I want to change it up... Every time I come back I have this undying hope that I will be greeted with a smile, and that they will have put their staff through some sort of ESL program... but every time I come back, I end up more and more disappointed.
While the decor of the place is very loft-like with its high ceilings and comfy couches... The cold stares, lax attention to customers, and lack of effort turns me off.
Met up with Dopey today after work as he had just gotten home from a trip and there was lots to catch up on. It was relatively empty as it seems the rich Chinese kids who drive the Mercedes and BMWs sponsored by mom and dad only come out to play at 9PM or later. There was no hostess at the front, and it felt like I was playing "Where's Waldo?" before I finally spotted a server who assumed we spoke the mother tongue (which has gone from Cantonese now to Mandarin).
We chose a seat and the menus were brought shortly after. With minimum wage being what now, $10 I wish they would smile more often. I used to work for $6.85 (yeah, remember those days?) and even I was more cheery than that!
If it weren't for a lack of options in Scarborough, I would probably never come back again... But unfortunately, I always end up here, and have to put up with the misery that is Go For Tea, over and over, and over again... My stars keep going down... I really do hope that the next review I write is not a 1 star.
