Yesterday I went for lunch to Maki Sushi, and did not expect that a meal becomes a "theatre of the absurd". Among other things, I ordered a Salmon Skin Roll.
When they brought the order, I discovered that there is no salmon skin in this roll at all. It was just a cucumber and «crispy» - crumbled roasted dough. I opened the next roll - indeed, no trace of salmon skin.
I call a waiter.
- I ordered a Salmon Skin Roll, and this is a Crispy Roll.
- No, it's Salmon Skin Roll.
I show him an open roll.
- And where is the salmon skin?
- We are preparing a Salmon Skin Roll with the mixture of salmon skin and «crispy».
- OK, but where is the salmon skin? Here is nothing but «crispy».
- We currently do not have salmon skin. We are preparing a Salmon Skin Roll with only «crispy».
- But then it is not Salmon Skin Roll. It's Crispy Roll.
- No, it's Salmon Skin Roll. We prepare it from a mixture of salmon skin and «crispy».
- And where in this mix (again show him an open roll) salmon skin?
- He is not here, because we have not prepared it yet.
- Then, prepare and bring me what I ordered - Salmon Skin Roll.
- We've brought you your order, sir. Here it is...
And he points on the open roll.
- But there's no salmon skin!
- Yes, sir. This is a mixture of salmon skin and «crispy» in which no salmon skin. 90% of our customers do not pay attention on it.
- But I'm not interested in 90% of your customers. I ordered a Salmon Skin Roll, and I want to receive my order.
- You already got it, sir ...
- Can I talk to the manager?
- It's me, sir...
No comments... :)
In addition, the waiters have little understanding of English, mix up orders, bring what you have not ordered and vice versa - do not bring what you ordered, often working in pairs - one takes the order, the other (more experienced) translates him what you said.
The sushi was made "wrong" - carelessly, and fall to pieces. A tip, meanwhile, is included in the bill in advance, "by default"...
