負評網友:7/8晚上時段用餐,
餐點好吃,烤餅口味很多口感也很特別。
中間有詢問一位橘衣員工能不能點酸球,結果他用英文回應與手機翻譯跟我們說如果賄賂他就可以免費提供,
我們問說要給多少錢,他回覆up to you,但因為我們很想吃也就答應。
不過我們心裡覺得怪怪的,就有在觀察這名橘衣員工,發現他有可能是私下在跟顧客要小費,因為發現他會迴避老闆的視線,或是老闆靠近的時候他會有點心虛裝忙走開。
後來老闆端了一小盤酸球給我們,我還特地詢問是否需要費用,老闆也很親切的說這是免費的。
我們要結帳前也剛好看到有一桌兩人桌也要買單的,就看到橘衣員工拿了兩盒小東西給他們,然後用一樣的套路,手機翻譯給他們要他們給小費換禮物,然後他們看起來不太好意思拒絕就照做。
後來我拿到帳單去準備的結帳時候,橘衣男又飄過來手指點了一下桌子跟我們說,錢可以放在桌上中間的位置。
我是認同小費文化的,但是這樣的行為感覺是私下進行的,而且有點半強迫,這種觀感真的很差,即使東西好吃我也不會想要再訪。
We had dinner on the evening of July 8th. The food was delicious, and there were many flavors of baked plain nam which very tasty.
At one point, we asked a staff in orange clothing if we could order sour balls, and he responded in English and using a phone translator, saying that he could provide them for free if we bribed him. When we asked how much it would cost, he said “up to you”, and because we really wanted to eat them, we agreed.
However, we felt a bit strange about this, so we kept an eye on this orange-clothed employee. We suspected that he might be privately asking customers for tips, because we noticed that he would avoid the boss’s gaze, or when the boss was close, he would act busy and walk away, looking a bit guilty.
Later, the boss served us a small plate of sour balls. I specifically asked if there was any cost, and the boss kindly said that they were free.
Just before we paid the bill, we happened to see a table for two also getting their bill. We saw the employee in the orange clothes give them two small boxes, then he used the same method, translating on his phone asking them for a tip in exchange for a gift. They seemed a bit reluctant to refuse and just did as he suggested.
When I got the bill and was about to pay, the orange-clothed man came over again and pointed at the table, telling us to put the money in the middle of the table.
I respect the culture of tipping, but this kind of behavior seems to be conducted privately and feels somewhat coercive. This leaves a very bad impression. Even if the food is good, I would not want to visit again.
