Worst Ever Welcome In Jamaica
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/22/08
I've given myself a couple of weeks to allow the emotion to go away and so attempt to describe my experience as accurately as possible. My wife and I ate at this restaurant on Monday evening, June 9, 2008. Yes the setting is just as you may have seen described elsewhere, but our greeting and service from our waitress was glum, unsmiling and monosyllabic to the point of being almost hostile. Every time she returned to our table the experience was the same, with a look you would usually reserve for a bag of dirt.
I was so tempted to put a big fat zero in the space on the bill reserved for tip/service but I didn't want to make a scene and so left 10%, but I don't know why.
We were both our usual polite selves from the moment we entered the premises to the moment we left. So what conclusions can I draw from this? Oh, by the way my wife is black, very pretty and a few years younger than me. I am not black. Do you think that maybe somebody was jumping to their own conclusions?
