June 2, 2018 - A long read
Reading prior reviews I decided to go in with my 2 children for lunch today. We waited by the small counter to be shown our table and the young man who appeared to be the manager/supervisor/what have you, seated us at one. At the table, before we sat down, he removed the salt and pepper shakers and I asked him to please leave the salt shaker on the table. He walked away and as I was strapping my toddler into the high chair I repeated my request to replace the salt shaker. He snapped at me saying "Yes I heard you, you don't have to repeat yourself!" I responded that I thought he maybe didn't hear me. And I asked him why he was being touchy and testy about it. He went to the counter and as I continued to strap my toddler in, I looked up to see him glaring at me. My toddler picked up the knife and fork and started to tap on the table. The man immediately pointed a finger at me and wagging it, he said in a loud voice, "Stop your daughter from tapping the table".
Now, I'm not sure what was going on in the young man's mind and life at that point but I had had enough. So I unstrapped my son, and told my daughter that we are leaving since I was not comfortable there. And the young man "muttered" in a loud voice "Whatever"!! I asked him twice that I wanted to speak with the manager, and he just stood there, turning a deaf ear.
While I was tempted to laugh because it was so juvenile, I was also angry that I was at the receiving end of this man's rudeness and offensive behavior for absolutely no fault of ours.
I hope that they soon find a replacement for this troubled and asocial young man. I don't know what we did to warrant this kind of behavior. Apparently this is is the first time a customer has experienced this since I haven't seen any negative comments.
Here is what my daughter says: When me and my mom walked into the restaurant and waited at the counter the man who showed us our seat was quite cranky. When we asked him for the salt shaker, he seemed to not be listening, and did not reply to our request. When he came again, my mother him again to please bring the salt back, he snapped at her and said that she did not have to repeat herself to him. When she asked why he was being crabby and cranky, he did not reply. He immediately snapped at my mom again when my brother was tapping on the table with silverware. When we decided to leave because we weren't comfortable with the waiter glaring at us all the time, he first muttered 'Good', and then loudly, 'Whatever!' When my mom asked to see the manager of the restaurant, he did not reply, and me and my mom decided to just leave. I was shocked overall with the man's behavior, and, quiet frankly, I do not think that we will not ever come back to Andaman Thai as long as that man is still there. My mom was very disappointed with our experience. And, truthfully, I am, too. read more
