I really liked this place up until today. Had a full day standing at work and didn't get time to eat lunch, so I went to The Merri Clan for some quick food after 4:30pm as I live locally. The selection was very limited, but given the time of day I was understanding of that. However, once I received my food, it was in a take away container. It became clear that this was intentional as their happy hour started at 5pm and they wanted me out of the space as I was alone. I ate the food seated regardless, because I was extremely tired and hungry after work. Once I left, I overheard one of the staff members mentioning to another that this "sometimes worked and other times didn't"—in reference to serving my food in a take away container to encourage me to leave the space. I was there for approximately 20 minutes, so it honestly felt very unnecessary and quite disrespectful. I do not think I will go there again, which is a shame because it is so close to my place.
