Negative Experience

Last weekend I celebrated my uncle's birthday at a new buffet in Revere, MA. The buffet was called Flaming Grill & Buffet and was recently built. Personally, I love buffets because of the variety of foods and drinks but this buffet made me change my mind. The food was okay. What I did not like was the waitress and customer attractions. As we at our food the waitress came too early to ask about the check and she kept doing it over and over again. I felt like it was rude and disrespectful because it's a buffet were people go up and get their food to eat but I can't do that when I'm getting rushed. Also, the buffet is really small so the atmosphere was really crowed and uncomfortable. There was no music, it was loud of course, lots of coughing because of how crowded the place was. I just believe that if they work on their customer and worker relations a little more and stretch the size of the place then I think I would go back again but right now I can never go.

When I was a child we would go to Universal Resorts each summer. The reason we'd go so many times is because our family loved the theme park, the services, the weather and the hotels. This picture is from the first time that I've ever been there. In the picture, I'm the young guy in the middle, my brother, god-sister and I decided to pose next to some model cars in Hollywood Studios. First off, to get to Universal Studios our family had a garage sale and fortunately made enough to take a family of 5 to Florida. Since this was so long ago I decided to ask my mom about our first time there. She told me about the hotel we stayed at, the cheap prices for both the plane ticket and hotel and how we were treated. We stayed in the Hard Rock Hotel, which was and still is expensive but it came with incredible deals and packages. We had fast passes, early park admissions, priority seating in restaurants and many other great benefits. I was too young to remember but my mother's words showed me that we had a great time, the cost wasn't as expensive because we came as a big family and our first time was a clear positive experience because we continued to come back year after year.

One day I was on instagram and noticed one of my favorite artists Future posted a ad that he was performing in Waterbury, CT. Me and 3 other close friends immediately reserved our tickets because we were so excited to see him for the first time of my life. We ended up walking from our hotel to the gig which was held at the Waterbury Palace Theatre. When we got there the line was wrapped around the building just to get in. The show started in 30 min by the way. Not only was the line long but it started to rain. After about 10 minutes people started barging in so I did what they did and followed inside. Not only were people not waiting their turn but people were walking in without showing tickets so anyone could walk in. That got me really mad due to the fact I spent money on the tickets and wasn't fair. People were shoving without a care in the world and security was no where to be found. When we got to the show Future wouldn't perform till a speaker was fixed on stage for maximum quality so we had to wait again. Throughout the performance people were in the aisles and in the way of people and there was no security. Once the concert was over it was a struggle to get out because of all the people trying to get out. Once we almost reached our hotel down the street we heard gunshots. Long story short. The Palace Theatre was unprofessional and I wouldn't go back again.

When I was a child I would remember my mom bringing me and my family to this seafood restaurant about 45 minutes away from my house. For some odd reason we never went back but I would always remember this restaurant because it has some of the best seafood I've ever tasted. Therefore, I thought about going recently so I went. The restaurant is called Chowder Pot which is located in Branford, CT. When I got there I was seated right away with a nice female server. She brought me back my drink ands some warm bread which held me over till my entre came out. My server would check on me accordingly with a smile making sure I was alright. My entre took about 30 minutes to come out. Well let me just say it was worth waiting every minute. I ordered the seafood fettuccini alfredo. The plate was so full I only ate half of my delicious meal. Once I asked for my check my server brought me wet wipes to clean up, mints to freshen my breath and toothpicks to clean my teeth. I had no choice but to leave  good tip. Chowder Pot treated me and fed me so well there is no reason to not go back soon! 5 stars in my book.

         My family and I decided to go on vacation to Disney a few year ago but we decided to use my aunts time share instead of going to a regular hotel because it was cheaper and different. When we first got there the outside was beautiful and was so tropical. When we got to our room it was very different then a regular hotel room. It was set up like a suite with a kitchen, dining room, living room and three bedrooms with a huge master. My brother and I were excited because the room was giant and there was a patio out back that led us to the pool area. You would think we had an amazing experience but it was far from that. After the first day of being there I don't think I saw one employ walking around or even out by the pool. The room was really dirty from the first day we got there and they didn't have house keeping come to clean our room. We called the front desk several times but they would either never answer or they would say they were bringing something to our room and wouldn't. To top it all off my parents got the whooping cough as soon as we got home which could be just a coincidence but I don't think it was because of how dirty everything was in the room. Overall I don't think I would ever go back to that same resort because of how bad of an experience it was.

This past weekend was my first time traveling back home in awhile and it couldn't have felt like a longer trip. I only live about 1 hour 15minutes away but this trip was the longest thing ever, between the traffic and being cut off to spilling my Gatorade all in my backpack, nothing was going my way. It was getting late and I needed a coffee to help stay alert so I pulled off into the first Dunkin Donuts I saw. I am a big fan of Dunkin Donuts and their iced coffee, however this trip did not come even close to the standards I expect when I go to Dunkin Donuts. First off when walked in I was looked at by about 3 employees and did not receive a greeting or recognition of any kind. after standing at the counter a women looked at me and in a rude tone said "what do you want?" after I told her 1 ice coffee order and waited for about another 10 minutes I received a hot cider of some sort. I confronted her and telling this is not my order and restating my order there was no apologies and I received a response "I didn't make it I wouldn't know." After some more correction, dirty looks, and rude comments I finally got my coffee and left as fast as I could. at this point in my day I didn't even care I wasn't home yet, I was just happy to be out of there.

Over this past spring break I was in Orlando, Florida on a trip with my friends. One night we decided to go to Epcot for dinner and ate in Italy at Via Napoli. We had a large group of people with us and they were very accommodating. We decided to split the check into 2 since half of us were sharing one item. This worked out and made things a lot easier. While we were there, they noticed one person in our group had a birthday pin on  and came over with a free dessert and asked if they could sing. I liked how they notice things like that and how they asked if they could sing before hand. Some people do not like to be sang to or to be the center of attention, but lucky for us, our friend did not mind them singing. Over all, the food was so delicious and a great experience.
