Ashlee's Buffet — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

I have been going to Ashlee's since it has opened and referred many, many people there....family members, dozens of coworkers and many friends. Today was my last day ever going there. First I had to wait unattended at the cashier counter for the cashier to serve me and no apologies were made when she came after a full 3 minutes. When I made reference to the unexpect cost of my meal, the cashier chastised me about what I expected and if I was running a restaurant would I want to charge less than that.

If I’m going to a place to spend my money you should be respected and appreciated right. Get to the store a few minutes before 7am and didnt know the store was open. The worker is watching me clean my hands out gloves on and grab a tray. I turn to him to ask for a spoon and then he tells me oh we aren’t open. I tell him why didn’t you tell me before I did all of this and you’re watching me. His response is you didn’t see there weren’t any spoons there. Smfh. This is customer service? This is a a place I should feel good spending my money? This is why it’s hard to support minorty businesses. If I wasn’t a minorty imagine my...
