So there I was, enjoying what can only be described as an absolutely Olympic breakfast. About three hours in I decided that I might switch it up a bit and ask for a different sauce to go with my remaining 45 eggs. I put down my claymore and trident and signalled the waitress. The crowd rustled in silent anticipation, a cool breeze ebbed and flowed thoughout the stadium. Commentators from every nation speculated as to what my next move would be... Mustard? Lea & Perrins? HP? The French were certain it would be Dijon. The Japanese as always took the opportunity to expound the virtues of their 'superior' wasabi. Their predictions were hopeless. I was at the top of my game and as far as the Breakfast League was concerned, untouchable. I'd dropped hints in my pregame interviews, but none of them got it. Amateurs. The waitress arrives, she asks me to repeat myself... I look her dead in the eye and say exactly the same thing. Tapping the send button on her PDA, she walks sheepishly back to the rest of the wait staff. The ever-present hustle and bustle of the kitchen stops as my order is revealed. The crowd erupts into a frenzy. One hundred thousand part-time voluntary influencers start their work and Twitter loses three data centers to the retweet cascade. The Prime Minister's next address is rewritten to put it on-trend. Overnight, millions of newborns are named after me and my wife wants to take me back. "The history of consumption was rewritten that day", the Mormon tabernacle choir sang, "Mixed Ketchup and mayo is...
Read moreBad experience at TickTock twice now. The first time was fine, average English breakfast, nothing to write home about. Disappointing for the price. Second visit was horrible. Came in again to give the place a second chance, as we live close, and ordered the Special breakfast. We get served the Turkish breakfast for some reason. I tell the waiter we didn’t order this, he said « Yes, you did », this went back and forth until I stopped out of how shocked I was to be accused of lying. He proceeded to stand there and stare at me until my friend said that it’s fine and we’ll have it anyway, as it was very awkward and he had decided we were lying to him (I wonder what the point of lying about what breakfast you ordered would be? Very paranoid behavior from the server) He then ignored us for the rest of the meal, I had to go up to the counter and ask to pay. Paid full price for something I didn’t want, and was therefore even more disappointed. This cafe is apparently legendary in Oxford, but the current management is...
Read moreHORRIBLE HORRIBLE PLACE, I VISITED FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS MORNING, I MADE MY ORDER AND PAID AND SAT THE FOOD CAME OUT, AS I SAT AND OBSERVED EVERY OTHER HUMAN WHO ENTERED THE CAFE SHE ASKED TO SIT AND SHE WOULD GO OVER TAKE THEIR ORDER ONCE THEY'VE FINISHED THEIR FOOD THEY WILL PAY AFTER THEY EAT.
SO TO RECAP: she made me pay upfront but every other customer paid after they ate.
Just to put my thoughts at rest as i left i asked a guy who left behind me if he paid before or after he orderd. He said 'i paid after, don't tell me she made you pay upfront' I said yes he was utterly shocked said hes never had to pay upfront and it seems like she was being racist.
I was the only person of colour in the café this was straight prejudice and racism it's 2023.
I honestly left so sad, and wanted to throw up my food its not fair and its heartbreaking the food was only £11.50 what am i going do do walk out after eating breakfast who even does that.
First and last...
