I came to the restaurant to sit with the family for my little cousins 2024 graduation. I came very late because I was out getting gifts. When I came in I asked the cashier if I can speak with a manager because I was bringing gifts and I was not going to eat. The manager said if I occupy a seat to go sit with the family I would need to pay for a buffet because I’m occupying a seat. I told him there was an extra seat at the table with the family that no other guest was going to sit at. He said I still need to pay the buffet fee which I did which came to be $17 because I asked for water because I was not going to eat nor drink. When I walked to the back the family were almost done eating so I gave my gifts and went back up to the front and asked for a refund because I was not going to stay for the five minutes left that the family was there. The manager then said he wanted to avoid trying to give me a refund. He said that I could take a to go box when the family leave because I did not eat. I said fine instead of the refund I will take a to go box. He gives me the box and I literally put a simple meal onto the tray, went to the front, the cashier put it in a bag and I was about to leave. The manager comes over at this time takes the food out of the bag picks it up with his hand trying to weigh it in his hands, he says it feels a little too heavy so he put it on the scale, it came to 155 I believe. He ring it up to which the total came out to be $14 and some change. He thought that I was trying to steal extra food from the restaurant and overload a plate well over $17. The look on his face when the total came to $14 was embarrassing. He tried to make a joke about it saying get you something to drink or put more food on your plate I want you to be happy. I told him no I was fine and you have a good day. He was very persistent about me putting more food on my plate because he felt really embarrassed that he thought I was trying to take extra food out of the restaurant. He should have just gave me my refund when I asked for it, he was beyond ridiculous.
