Male Female
To tell about a time when I experienced bad service, I'd like to talk about a visit to a Korean restaurant in Hanoi City. I came there with my family for dinner and wanted to try many new cuisines. Upon entering, the restaurant was crowded and the staff was very busy, so nobody acknowledged our presence. After a long time, the staff finally brought the menu for us to order. Even though we didn't order many items, they promised us another dish which was not on the menu. When we asked about it, the staff were not only unapologetic but also impolite and angry, telling us to be patient or wait a little longer. I left the restaurant with an unhappy and bad feeling because of their service. I don't want to go back there again. That was a forgettable memory that I don't want to experience anytime soon. This also brought me a lesson about service in the hospitality industry, which should be paid more attention to. If a restaurant wants to be famous, they need to prioritize good service.
