Today I brought my niece and nephew for lunch in Gastro 101. They had not been before and we thought we would try somewhere new.
I parked just beside Nicola Ross in front of the church. I had only 60 cent in coins so decided...I would pay for parking through my phone when I got inside afterI had ordered. So we ordered. Then I tried to pay for my parking. But parking on the Sallins Road in Naas is not covered by any parking app .I explained to the waitress and asked if they could charge me for a 1.10 shot of soda (on the menu) and give me a euro from the til to top up my parking. She said she would ask. She went off and stood talking to the manager and a girl behind the bar, for 10 minutes and then did not come back to me. I then asked the waiter. He said no. They don't do cashback. I said I am looking for one euro only, and you can charge me for something on the menus, such as the shot of soda. He said no, it is not our policy, My jaw was on the floor, I said please, ask, its only one euro, not a tenner, not even a fiver, one euro. Otherwise I will have to go and move my car to a car park. He said no, and he wouldnt ask. So, I had to get up, leave my hot food and 10 year old nephew and niece and go to the car, move it to the car park on wolfe tone street. Words fail me. They allowed me to order 58 euro of food. There was 2 other people in the restaurant. And this is how they oblige ? I left and messaged a group on Whatsapp with 14 members. The response was unanimous. 'Speechless'More
