North Star Cafe - Fordham

I originally had this place at 5 stars before for what the area has, the food is great. But today has been the last day I step foot in the establishment.

I've been going there religiously for a couple of years, and though the food is great I would simply over look the things that would annoy me. I would ignore the overselling of the salad (which is per pound) making a typical salad $10-12 without trying to hard, the random price changes for items on any given day....but still, I overlooked it because most of the workers are super nice.

Today I decide to get a salad and a piece of salmon on the side which clearly states 6.95 a pound mixed with other food. Yet they insisted that my salmon is by itself regardless of my salad purchased making the price of the salmon $10 a pound.

Now I understand what you are thinking... It's no big deal and we are talking about 1 or 2 more dollars on my bill which I would typically would agree with, but even in stating why it made no sense and that it goes against what they have set as rules, they said it didn't matter.

For me It's about the principle. I've spent upwards of probably $5000 in about 3 years of being a customer. You would think they would say... "You know what, you're right, but next time you know...."

But they didn't.

They made me feel like me being a daily customer spending money is pointless and return customers have no added likeness. So now I will simply take my business somewhere else

Thanks for the few years. But the minute a business makes me feel that's it's all about the money... I'll go ahead an drive 10 mins north and go to whole foods for that and pay for the organic experience.
