Not allowed to eat take out food inside the place I bought it

Posted on the February 4th, 2009 under Customer Service,Misc by Judy

Seriously, when did this become an issue? I was out driving around and decided I wanted Chinese food from Chop Suey Hut in Woodstock. I figured I go pick it up and then head over to the Sparrow’s Nest where I work (& volunteer) to see how things were going and eat my lunch. When I called it in they said 20 minutes, hmmm…, so I went to the Sparrow’s Nest first and thought, well, I’ll just eat it there so I don’t have to go all the way home and then back out again. I go to the pick up window and my food is ready, so I ask the owner (cashier was busy) if it would be ok to go inside and eat because I changed my mind about running home. He hemmed and hawed and then said, “I can’t let you do that.” I was like, ohkayyy, why not? and he said, “If I let you do that then I would have to let everyone do that.” Again, I was like, ohkayyy… and left. I should have pursued it with some other questions like these:
1) is there something wrong with the food in the bag?
2) do you often have the person picking up the order ask if they could eat inside? Because I don’t know about you, but usually when I order take out it is for 4 – 5 people and I’m the only one there.
It just seemed really odd that he wouldn’t allow me to eat the food they prepared and bagged inside their restaurant. Am I wrong?

    That's very annoying, they're selling foods then they'll not allow customers to eat it there. Tell them to stop selling foods.

    I can understand a smaller shop doing that but a company with the size of Chop Suey Hut in Woodstock should know better.

    I guess they're ready to loss business soon.

    This is disgraceful – I suggest voting with you feet! They seem to taking customers for granted
