Sure felt like a bait and switch - so I'll switch where I eat breakfast
Bluestone Lane West End Café的点评
点评:Pretty place, and cool that it's connected to a public library. The breakfast salad I had was passably fresh although absolutely drenched in dressing. And pricey..... That along will not stop me from visitng Bluestone again. Here is what will: I went here because it showed up on my In Kind app, along with several other locations in WDC. In fact, I first learned about Bluestone using In Kind 18 m. ago while in NYC, and had no problem at that time using the In Kind app at Bluestone. As per all the other restaurants where I've used the In Kind app, I asked for the check number to pay on the app -- standard practice. It would not work. At this point the server to me I could not use it because I had already paid and would have had to pull it up before I ordered. I asked to speak with a mgr. He said that I could not use it at all, that Bluestone had stopped using In Kind "more than 3 years ago." That was interesting in that I'd used In Kind at a Bluestone 18 m. ago . This also seemed like a bait and switch -- there was no sign on the menu, no sign at the counter, no sign anywhere, stating that they do not accept the In Kind app. And yet -- it was the app that had driven me to visit. The mgr reported that Bluestone has no relationsip with In Kind. I find it very hard to believe that they "have no relationship" and yet they seem to have no problem drawing business by continuing allow In Kind to include it on the app? I will also stop using the In Kind app, although I've never had this problem and have used it almost every single week since I first used it at an NYC Bluestone 18 months ago.
翻译:很漂亮的地方,而且与公共图书馆相连,这很酷。我吃的早餐沙拉虽然浸透了调料,但还算新鲜。而且价格昂贵......但这并不能阻止我再次光顾 Bluestone。以下是会阻止我再次光顾的原因:我来这里是因为它出现在我的 In Kind 应用程序中,以及 WDC 的其他几个位置。事实上,我 18 个月前在纽约使用 In Kind 第一次了解到 Bluestone,当时在 Bluestone 使用 In Kind 应用程序没有问题。与我使用 In Kind 应用程序的所有其他餐厅一样,我要求在应用程序上付款时提供支票号码——这是标准做法。它不起作用。此时,服务员告诉我,我不能使用它,因为我已经付过钱了,必须在点餐前拿出来。我要求与经理谈话。他说我根本不能使用它,Bluestone 已经“3 年多前”停止使用 In Kind。这很有趣,因为我 18 个月前在 Bluestone 使用过 In Kind。这似乎也是一种诱饵和转换——菜单上没有标志,柜台上没有标志,任何地方都没有标志,表明他们不接受 In Kind 应用程序。然而——正是这个应用程序促使我来这里。经理报告说,Bluestone 与 In Kind 没有关系。我很难相信他们“没有关系”,但他们似乎没有问题通过继续允许 In Kind 将其包含在应用程序中来吸引业务?我也将停止使用 In Kind 应用程序,尽管我从来没有遇到过这个问题,而且自从 18 个月前我第一次在纽约 Bluestone 使用它以来,我几乎每周都在使用它。
