A Review: Over The Past Few Months, I Ate...

@Cafe Laguna Ayala Cebu - the original Cafe

To the owner: I just want you to know that last time we went there, we were very dissatisfied with the service of the waiting staff. ALL of them are not so service-y and too slow. As in major slow. I asked for water since my baby was coughing and it came like 10mins after! OMG! The waitress didn't even say sorry when she served them. She goes on explaining in a not-so-polite tone that the glasses were being washed that was why it had taken so long. That's one family never setting foot again on that restaurant. Been advising friends also about the bad service. Sheesh!


@Siam (Ayala Terraces) 

weee! had a gread time with my HSKUL friends. We have not seen each other for like 5years!!! Though one bad thing happened-that I lost my phone that night in the damned taxi I rode home. May you be accursed my phone - to whomsoever is the cold-hearted fellow who made it his even when he knew it wasn't his - yes you taxi driver. Accursed you more for giving me an excuse that your receipt machine is out of paper that was why you werent able to give me one! haha
Anyway, to Siam, the food was great. We ordered not 2 not 3 but 4 plates of rice just for the 6 of us (5 of us were girls). Huge eaters. haha I love their chicken meal with the garlic flavor on it. I forgot what it was called. I love all their food. Yummy!

@Shakeys (SM)
I am so disappointed they have service charges already. Their food price is already that high enough. Why are all pizzerias having service charges already??? Can we not eat pizza at your place without the added service charge? And what service are we talking about here? They just bring you plates, forks, spoon, paper mat, menu, take your order. At first they were all like so service-y but later on they became deaf. Maybe they don't want us to pay. I paid almost P600 there for me, for my sister, and for baby macy who hated their spaghetti. Sumting wrong... What a high price for a pizzeria for just 2 and a half of us.


@Mang Inasal (Consolacion branch)

One thing to say, hahah naa muy gwapo kau na waiter.. as in.. mayta dli bading...hahha Iya g.touch akong kinaon na chicken na bukog! ahhah eww nmu oi.. pero gwapo ghpn ka...hahaha

Heed: SM City Cebu, For Improvement


1. Damn your drainage system around your mall
It had been like 2 floods occurred. As the big guy in that area, take heed. For crying out loud,     the current of river that forms after a heavy downpour is around you. It's your responsibility also as a merchant to care for the well-being of your customers.
    PLEASE DON'T WAIT FOR A 3rd FLOOD.










2. Damn your receipt details during SALE.
OMG, got me so frustrated when I looked at my receipt last time SM Dept Store had a big sale last week. You wouldn't know which items get the discounts coz they sum it all up at the end of your bought item list and then deduct the total. They have this gibberish-for-crying-out-loud-numbers beside the deduct-able amount. 


IT IS NOT OK! VERY VERY VERY 100% NOT OK. Transparency PLS. It's a receipt FOR customers! Not for your managers/database! We need to calculate what we bought and if there really was a discount! Be damned... For a retail store so BIG and popular, what a MAJOR FLAW.


You must have felt I'm such a whiner and a hater. In truth though, I really love shopping at SM. In fact, whenever the office offers GCs and ask us which store we would have them for, I would always choose SM. The ambiance is great, the huge selection is great, the staffs are OK. All in all a good shopping experience.  However though, their stuffs are a bit pricey. One time, I saw these Nexcare water-proof-cartoon-print-band-aids at ACE Hardware, they were priced like for P160-175 I think. And I bought those same band-aids at Rose Pharmacy for only P120. Huge difference if you ask me.


Going back to the complaints department, I really hope SM would do something about them. Especially since I will be going more often there as soon as FOREVER21 opens which by the way no info has been out about when its opening will be. I am sooo excited! :)
