Table Talk Ubud — Restaurant in Pulau Bali

I COULD NEVER BELIEVE THAT ON THIS ISLAND THERE COULD BE PEOPLE THAT WOULD PURPOSEFULLY ENDANGER A PERSON!

I am a frequent customer of Table Talk and I would definitely give a different review if this unbelievable scenario did not happen. As I was in the area to grab a bite, I decided to park my bike on a less busy street where Table Talk has its parking with a sign. I’ve noticed some parked bikes right after their parking space and decided to put mine there too. An employee of the restaurant runs to me and says I cannot park there. I take my bike and move it right on the intersection between the main road and the street where Table Talk is located. There are no signs of a private parking, there are no “no parking” signs, a car can comfortably drive past my bike, so I decide to leave it there. The employee clearly saw me park it there and did not follow me to tell me that, again, that is not a place where I can park. In the meantime I browse around and decide to grab a bite in a place not far away. After eating, I decide to go check quickly on the bike before taking a walk. When I get there I see that there is a smaller bike (a red Scoopy) parked behind mine being moved out of that street by the employee in the photo. I start walking faster to move my bike, as I assumed mine would be next. As I walk closer and closer to the bike, I see the employee in the photo getting down to my scooter and starting to open the little cap on the tire to deflate it. WHO WOULD ON PURPOSE DEFLATE THE FRONT TIRE OF A STRANGERS BIKE TO PUT THEM IN DANGER OF FALLING AND HURTING THEMSELVES AT THE FIRST CORNER?! I run towards her and start asking what the hell she was doing. In response she starts yelling that it’s private property and that it’s forbidden to park there (no signs or writings anywhere close). I follow her as she gets back to the restaurant and demand to speak to the manager. Nobody is able to tell me where the manager is and all refuse to tell me the name of the employee who I caught red handed just in time. Eventually she leaves the restaurant in a hurry, as advised by somebody over the phone. I check that my scooter is still in riding conditions and leave shortly after.

I find what I witnessed today utterly disturbing. I won’t go to the police because I caught the employee in time and because they clearly wouldn’t bother investigating in the matter on behalf of a white tourist. Unfortunately, I did not react in time to film her in action, otherwise it would have not gone down so smoothly. But I can promise this: if I see any of the Table Talk employees doing it again to another scooter, I will film it and go straight to the police department to explain that it’s a practice that they apparently do very often.

I am so disgusted by the actions of this employee for not only damaging a stranger’s property, but doing something that can be well enough to literally kill a person. All the staff of the restaurant should be ashamed of themselves and the employee in question should face some serious consequences, at least from...
