*had the most embarrassing and helpless experience at ideal cafe, hampankatta*
i had a pretty great dinner at ideals, the food was affordable and delicious. but what shocked me the most was how they treated us when we asked them to pack the food which was leftover. we had not eaten anything from that plate and instead of wasting it, out of good conscience i had asked them to pack the food so that i could take it home.
so they came with two plastic bags and a paper bag and slammmed it on the table. i was confused, only to realise that we had to pack our own food in front of so many people who were having food around us. this is the firsttimei saw and experienced this anywhere in india.
it was embarrassing and frustrating to do it in front of other diners and the staff totally ignored our table so that we couldn't ask as to why all of a sudden customers are scraping food into plastics bags in front of everyone.
if this is how they treat everyone else, soon the good name of ideals will be gone. i hope no other person has to go through this experience.
