Weird Experience at East Side Mario's in Barrie
    #27042354 - 11/16/20 02:41 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

They gave us the menus and I looked it over, they had all you can eat salad for $12.99 if you order that alone, or all you can eat salad for $6 if you got an entree for $9.99 or more

so the waitress comes around and I order a pepsi for like $4, chicken parm sammy and fries for $16 and a all you can eat salad for $6

right off the bat the waitress tells me thats too much food and I should order just the salad for starts to see if thats enough, this threw me for a loop, I didnt really understand what she was saying, like I wanted what I ordered, so I insisted I wanted the chicken parm with fries and the all you can eat salad, (the salad alone would have been like $13 instead of $6)

so I eat my entree and like 4 bowls of salad over the course of lunch and when im trying to get the bill shes like, do you want me to put another pepsi on the bill, so im like no, and then shes like are you sure how about half of one, so I insisted I wanted the bill

Im baffled about this experience, like they dont want to give all you can eat salads for $6, if so, due to financial difficulties cause of covid or something, I think they should take it off the menu, instead of trying to sell people up on higher markup items

what do you all think of this, I dont really want to go back, think ill get popeyes chicken next time im in Barrie or something

should I look up the customer relations email and send them an email? I think I might do that, I want shroomerys thoughts before I do that though

How big is a 4 dollar Pepsi with apparently no refills? Or maybe they charge again if you take a refill to go?  Never been to Mario's

I don't know about you but I definitely woulda taken her up on her offer of a half pepsi

Just to see what it would feel like to order a "half pepsi"

Just let it slide man.

East Side is a good restaurant.

Also, don't give shit to a waitress, they already deal enough shit as it is.

The worst shit you could have done to her would have been to give her your number.

So you decided to be a Karen.

You just got a Karen 'Be My Guest".

Stop bitching about waitresses.  They go through enough as it was and how is now.

:rolleyes:

It'd be one thing to bitch about slow service, but it sounds like she was being straight up catty, and confrontational.

Popeyes is great. We need a popeyes appreciation thread or something. Except when they get my order wrong, then they can fuck off :crankey:

You ever get one of their biscuits fresh, right after they put the butter on it? :drooling:

KFC is a dead man walking. There is no reason to eat at KFC when popeyes exists.

Tell the waitress the customer is always right.  :awesomenod:

Maybe, she has a hard time getting tips with all this Covid shit. Just forget about it.  :cool:

Could be giving you a hard time to flirt. Go back and tell her next time what you want isn't on the menu.  :crazy2:

I've seen wait staff do something similar before at chain restaurants. I think they are trying to be helpful, i.e. "if you haven't ordered this before, you might be surprised at how much food it is." But ignoring the possibility that the customer knows what they're ordering and insisting that it's too much food for them comes off as rude.
