Reviews
I work for a state agency, and my division had an all-day meeting in the Barbara Jordan building. The food we had delivered did not come with utensils. I volunteered to get some from this cafe.
Before I describe what happened, it should have occurred to me it was a private establishment. It did not. I’m not based in the area, and none of my colleagues were either. I assumed the cafe was run by the state.
While I was collecting the plastic utensils, a man came up to me and asked me “what makes you think you can steal from me?” He did not introduce himself, and at first I thought he was messing with me.
Why on earth would I intentionally steal while wearing my State of Texas badge in a building with my colleagues?
Through his long-winded rant, where he outright accuses me of stealing and threatening to bring “the department of public safety” out to resolve it, I learned he’s the owner.
It was an extremely unnecessary and rude interaction. All that needed to be said was that the plastic utensils were not free and that I would need to pay for them. One, maybe two sentences.
Instead I got word vomit. When I finally could get a word in, I explained I misunderstood the nature of the establishment and that I would pay. It took my saying THREE times I would pay before he stopped ranting and accusing me of stealing before he said “well now I have to figure out how much to charge you.” The interaction lasted around 10 minutes.
Which again, all that needed to be said was I would need to pay.
