This response to Rajendra Kakodkar's [RK] post is my final comment on
this topic unless something new turns up.
RK: While almost all posts in the Bomras thread are centred around
discrimination, your posts are lost in tresspass, which is not an
issue, even probably to Bomras' owner.
JC: Trepass is a criminal issue. It is the type which gets Vandals to
destroy public property. It is NOT necessarily only the issue of the
(say) Bomras owner.
re: Fukot Advice to the Whiners:
JC a: (I repeat) Restaurants are private establishments. They do not
have to serve you or me. The only time one can make an argument
against them is IF they have a policy of not serving Goans,
Portuguese, Northeasterners, "you people" et al (as in Breach Candy).
RK[a] Your (a) is misplaced: there are Consumer laws and obligations.
JC [a2]: Please feel free to inform us which "Consumer laws and
obligations" were violated, by whom and How. Please do not forget to
provide references
==
JC b: If twice you get cold-shouldered, take a hint ....Eat at
home......or at a Cafe Hole in the Wall ....where you do not have to
TRESPASS to diagnose a filthy kitchen. (Wonder if Rajiv has ever
complained about those utterly filthy gaddes on the road-side. Don't
tell me he has never noticed them).
RK [b] Your (b) is full of bias: Don't tell me you never noticed
foreigners and Goan high class eating out at filthy gaddes, along with
filthy rag pickers.
JC [b2]: Nice try at obfuscation or English is a difficult language.
Did you read Rajiv's post?
==
JC c: If you wish good service at a restaurant, take enough money to
TIP well- Remember that NOTORIOUSLY poor tippers get poor attention.
(Restaurants are not Government enterprises where you can behave as
you please).
RK [c] Your (c) defeats accepted systems: Tips are post service,
depending upon service
jc [c2] Once again, it behooves one to read carefully before one runs
one's mouth. Notoreity of poor-tippng is never 'post-service'. But
then again, English is a tough language.
==
These are the ones which you missed - am repeating it for ease of review.
JC d: And while we are on the topic of behaviour, please learn to
behave yourselves appropriately. Gundagiri in public disturbs other
guests who enable the restaurants to make money.
JC e: Order appropriately for the number of guests and learn how to
'hold your drinks'.
JC f: If you plan to consume only a few rupees worth of food, please
do not use up 5-6 hours of the seating time. The restaurant also needs
to make money.
JC g: Do attire yourself appropriately and present yourself
appropriately to the mai·tre d'.
