Charlie's Diner — Restaurant in City of Norwich

Been eating here for years. And lately the service has become rude and unfriendly. The staff seems like they hate being there. They also went to cash only which is inconvenient

Yesterday was the final straw. We were left standing at the entrance with the wait staff ignoring us. You must wait to be seated I finally asked if we could choose a table and was rudely told to continue waiting.

In all my years of traveling and eating in diners and restaurants, I have never been...

Good food, service very poor. I moved a place setting from another table touching nothing other than place mat. Had to hear a 15 minute discussion about how we shouldn't be doing that because of covid and that I contaminated the whole other area. While hearing all this, as she washed down the other area with bleach making me feel disgusting. I noticed she wasn't wearing a face covering at all! Nor did our menus get washed after we where done as I watched ours get passed on to the next customers. She also didn't wash her hands after picking up the salt top which by the way fell off on the floor. I almost walked out not wanting breakfast. She who preaches should...
