I was a guest staying at the Grand Hotel and came to purchase a Coke. There was no cashier behind the counter so I sat down in the coffee shop with my Coke. Within a few minutes a woman said you didn’t pay for that and I replied with there was no one behind the register but now that you’re here I can pay. As I’m walking to pay she replies you had no right to take the bottle. I said you can keep your bottle and don’t deserve my business. I asked for her name and she wouldn’t give it to me, instead told another employee to call security on me. Her coworker told me to leave because they’re busy.

   Read moreCustomer service is horrible.. to have me believing they are racist. I have not experience such awful experience with a cafe inside a hotel I am staying in and their customer service is quite different. Even with the prices a bit higher than one can go outside the hotel and eat a very good breakfast or drink a juice a lot cheaper I would not mind paying if the customer service was different.
