点评:I don’t write many reviews, but I felt I should warn people. It was just before dinner, and I needed a small caffeine boost - not coffee level - so I decided to get a simple cup of black tea. Most of the places I usually go to had closed for the day. I’ve driven by La Glida a bunch of times and it looked quaint with a nice patio. They were open, so I went in and ordered a black tea. At first the lady (pretty sure this is the owner) seemed confused and kept repeating “Americano?” In retrospect I think she may have been trying to guide me to the more expensive espresso drink. Finally she relented and started digging in a small box of assorted teas, and took out a black tea bag. It was the really low end 2-cents-for-a-bag type, but I just wanted some tea. She brought it out to the patio, I drank it, and went back in to pay. She says “2500 colones” - almost 4 bucks for a small cup of black tea. Hot water and a 2-cent tea bag! I must’ve looked a little stunned. I asked again and she said “it includes the tip.” I said “are you sure?” and she looked at her computer said “that’s what it says in the system.” She didn’t show me. I handed her 5000 colones, got 2500 back and went on my way. It seemed super sketchy - the service charge, and “the system.”
I went for dinner and started Googling. There was one picture of a chalkboard menu in her place that listed tea as 1500 colones. I checked a bunch of other places in town just to make sure and the average was about 1500 colones. After dinner I returned, hoping to see the same chalkboard on the wall. I looked from outside, but didn’t see it. I did have the picture saved in my phone, so was going to use that. She was serving a table on the patio so I went inside. I spotted laminated menus on top of the display case, and grabbed one of the drink ones. The owner-lady comes from behind and brashly says “if you want a menu, sit on the patio and I will bring one.” I said “”wait” and pointed out on the menu that it said black/green tea 1500 colones. She went back around the counter by the computer, and said “well, in the system it says 2500 colones.” I think she expected me to say “ohhh, the system says that’s how much it is. Well buenos noches to you, I’ll be on my way!” But, I said, “on your actual menu it says 1500 colones, you owe me 1000 colones.” She threw open the cash drawer sending some coins flying - said angrily “well, if you gonna argue!” - grabbed a 1000 bill and flung it at me. And I left. Do not eat and/or drink here.
翻译:我不写很多评论,但我觉得我应该警告人们。就在晚饭前,我需要一点咖啡因——而不是咖啡水平——所以我决定喝一杯简单的红茶。我平时去的大部分地方都关门了。我开过 La Glida 很多次,它看起来很古雅,有一个漂亮的庭院。他们是开着的,所以我进去点了一杯红茶。起初,这位女士(很确定这是店主)似乎很困惑,一直重复着“美式咖啡?”回想起来,我想她可能一直在试图引导我喝更贵的浓缩咖啡。终于她心软了,开始在一小盒什锦茶里翻找起来,拿出一个红茶包。这是真正低端的 2 美分一袋类型,但我只是想喝点茶。她把它带到院子里,我喝了它,然后回去付钱。她说“2500 科朗”——一小杯红茶将近 4 美元。热水和 2 美分的茶包!我一定看起来有点震惊。我又问了一次,她说“包括小费。”我说:“你确定吗?”她看着她的电脑说“这就是系统中所说的。”她没有给我看。我给了她 5000 科朗,拿回了 2500 科朗,然后继续上路。它似乎超级粗略 - 服务费和“系统”。
我去吃晚饭并开始谷歌搜索。在她的位置上有一张黑板菜单的照片,上面将茶列为 1500 科朗。我检查了镇上的其他一些地方只是为了确定,平均约为 1500 科朗。晚饭后我回来了,希望能在墙上看到同样的黑板。我从外面看,但没看到。我确实将照片保存在手机中,所以打算使用它。她正在露台上摆一张桌子,所以我进去了。我在陈列柜顶部发现了层压菜单,然后抓起其中一份饮料菜单。老板娘从后面走过来,傲慢地说:“如果你想要菜单,请坐在露台上,我会拿来。”我说“等等”,并指出菜单上写着红茶/绿茶 1500 科朗。她绕过电脑柜台,说:“好吧,系统显示 2500 冒号。”我想她希望我说“哦,系统说这是多少。好了,早安,我先走了!”但是,我说,“在你的实际菜单上写着 1500 冒号,你欠我 1000 冒号。”她打开现金抽屉,一些硬币飞了起来——愤怒地说:“好吧,如果你要争辩的话!” - 抓起一张 1000 的钞票扔给我。然后我离开了。不要在这里吃和/或喝。
