点评:I last reviewed this place about a year ago, and it had always been awesome. The food still is, but over the last few months, the staff has gone waaaay downhill, and they're killing this place. The bagels are still always awesome and fresh, and the prices are reasonable. The owners are very environment & community conscious, even carrying Fair Trade coffee, and donating the contents of the tip jar. Most of the employees are friendly, but many have competence issues...especially with SANITATION! Several times lately, I've had employees go from emptying trash bins or washing windows to trying to make me a sandwich without washing their hands. They seem to think that since they're wearing gloves, it's optional...when they pick up the clean gloves, by the outside of the glove, from the box with their dirty hands. This has happened so often that I finally quietly and politely asked the server if he would please wash his hands before making my meal. He had just been emptying trash bins. He checked with a co-worker to see if he had to, and then was rather nasty afterward. The co-worker was condescending, and tried explaining why hand washing wasn't necessary. I've seen several other examples of poor food sanitation there, and the employees don't seem to have been trained.
Another bad thing is that they tend to run out of the same things EVERY day, but no one seems to adjust the production to prevent it. A crew member told me "We want to run out of everything so we don't have any waste." I said "You would think that you would try to throw out one of everything each day, because that way you never disappoint a customer." The employees sarcastic reply was "MOST customers just get something else if were out of what they want."
I like this place, and their food, but I hope they fix their staff issues. I'll still go there, but not as often, and I watch how they make my food. It's a shame that a few bad people can trash a great place's reputation.
翻译:我上次评价这家餐厅大约是在一年前,它一直都很棒。食物现在依然如此,但在过去的几个月里,员工素质每况愈下,他们把这家餐厅搞砸了。贝果仍然新鲜美味,价格也合理。店主非常注重环保和社区建设,甚至提供公平贸易咖啡,并捐赠小费罐里的物品。大多数员工都很友好,但很多员工能力不足……尤其是在卫生方面!最近有好几次,我遇到一些员工,他们本来是要倒垃圾或擦窗户的,却不洗手就想给我做三明治。他们似乎认为既然戴着手套,就可以不用洗手……他们用脏手从盒子里拿起干净的手套,只抓住手套的外层。这种情况发生得太频繁了,我最终还是小声而有礼貌地问服务员,在给我上菜之前能否请他洗手。他刚刚倒完垃圾桶。他跟同事确认了一下是否需要洗手,之后就变得相当粗鲁。同事摆出一副居高临下的姿态,试图解释为什么洗手没有必要。我见过那里其他几个食品卫生条件很差的例子,而且员工似乎没有受过培训。
另一个不好的地方是,他们每天都会缺货,但似乎没有人调整生产流程来避免这种情况。一位工作人员告诉我:“我们希望所有东西都卖完,这样就不会浪费。” 我说:“你会觉得你会每天都把所有东西都扔掉,因为这样你就不会让顾客失望。” 员工们讽刺地回答说:“大多数顾客如果缺货,就会去买别的东西。”
我喜欢这家餐厅和他们的食物,但我希望他们能解决员工的问题。我还会去那里,但不会像以前那么频繁了,而且我会观察他们是如何制作我的食物的。可惜的是,几个坏人就能毁掉一个好地方的声誉。
