Yamazaki — Restaurant in Paris

We are having our breakfast here almost everyday and all the staff are nice and welcoming. I give our order at the cashier, take a sit, wait to be served and they’ll bring you your receipt once you’re almost done eating. Today, I did the same thing, fall in line, waited for few minutes because there are 3 people in front of her. Greeted the lady in the cashier with an up-do hair, the lady didn’t even smile or greeted me at all. I gave my order to the lady and tell her « sur place ». The lady in the cashier said « take a sit ». We thought, that since I gave our order already, they are suppose to prepare it because for almost everyday, that’s the routine when we come here. After approx 5-7mins, her colleague (nice lady with long hair, pony-tailed) asked our order. We told her that we already ordered at the cashier.

Pointed to the stand up tables right in front of the line...meaning you can eat there. We left. I was sorry I had already gave some of my business to them. Plenty of shops around that are friendly and accommodating to tourists that spend a money on overpriced patries. Besides the horrible service the pastries we got tasted okay. But definitely not...

Where, in the world of food service, are you required first to order and then to find a table? If you don’t find a table, after you ordered, what are you supposed to do with the food? This is the golden rule at Yamazaki, Passy, written in golden letters at the entrance of the place. We were shown the door, by a very unpleasant elderly shop assistant, after we reserved a table while waiting in the queue to order, as someone, who had already ordered and got the food, requested our table. After all this is the country where Eugene Ionesco wrote most of his work. We and our friends:...
