I have been busy refinancing tourist-depleted Europe, and until today people have been remarkably nice.
The food at Cafe-Cafe, Praha 1, Rytirska 10 was good, service from the young girl wait-person was appalling. I will not see 80 again, and she clearly saw me as beneath contempt. Her sneering collection of the order was capped when my bottled beer came, half-dumped from the bottle into the glass and thus degassed, she hovered and seized plates and glasses as they became free, indeed I had to seize back my beer glass to retain the last sip. I said I was paying cash, and after she brought the card machine, I handed her 800 crowns in notes, then said "And I want the change." She fled outside, and I told the manager to call her back. Actually, I ordered him to do it.
When she stormed back in, she demanded truculently to know what I wanted. I said I wanted the change, she replied that she thought the stolen money (that is how I see it) was "for service". I said there had been no service, just rudeness, and with exaggerated histrionics, she plonked 35 crowns into my hands, trying to make all three coins fall to the floor with a sharp downward blow. Guess what, I have taught brats in my time, and her attempt failed. I warned the manager that her behaviour would bring a savage review.
If you are of advanced middle age, avoid this place (Rytirska 10) like the plague. The docket says SERVICE IS NOT INCLUDED, and this I can certainly confirm.
If management assure me PROMPTLY that Sustova Klara has been given the boot, I will withdraw this review, but they have two hours.
