Few weeks ago I placed an order on Grubhub which was totally screwed up. Instead of just getting back my money, which I could have easily done through Grubhub, I courteously called the restaurant to complain. The person on the phone, which I should have written down her name, apologized profusely and promised to really "fix me up" the next time I would place a Grubhub order.

The two ladies that are there on Sundays are not pleasant nor friendly it's just next, they take your order then tell you the price, puts bag on counter, takes form of payment then gives you back your card/ change with receipt. Everytime they're taking out the dumplings they're always looking up to see if I'm looking at them. Today the saltfish is the size of a small I should've just ordered that instead because a small meal comes with 3 dumplings. I don't know if they're bias and prejudice because I'm not Jamaican. Wouldn't be going there on a Sunday again their attitude always changes my mood...
