Ati they are racists?


Race has nothing to do with it. It's all about tips.... Jungus tip in hundreds while Miros tip in coins. Whom do you expect to get faster service?

blame the mido guys, when I park my ka note outside "kwa maggy" - I get first class service, though their croissants at times are a tab bit too hard and have a faint smoke flavor, but I can live with that

Sometimes it boils to the way you carry yourself, i once to pietermaritzburg SA and entered a white only pub, everyone was amused but I went on and asked for frosty waters and know what they served with dignity. am a regular at artcaffe village market and westgate and with some noisy friends we get served so fast so as not to cause chaos, infact one of the supervisors at westgate whenever he sees us he sends guys there so fast simply because one day we gave him a dressdown and made him know how we feel. The Jungus were just staring at us but we didnt brink our eyes. The same day we went up at that ka-joint at westgate and these guys were like not looking at us, one of my lady friends called the supervisor and told him to go down to artcaffe and ask who he is serving. We fell down laughing and he realised it was not bizna as usual, he personally served us. But anyway for sure if you are black like me and go to those jungu visited places the services are not usual till when you speak out.

I have been to Fogo. One thing is that the one price for all only covers the meat,salad and the accompaniments. NOT the drinks.

Our Kenyan waiters ignored Obama at local restaurant!!! We have no pride as Kenyans. Oga boys can bully you in your own country because they own the local police force. I salute the Mau Mau fighters who said an apology was enough and they are not interested in the money. Meanwhile our greedy lawyers (read LSK) want to know the name of the beneficiaries.

A number of people who've tried to be local/domestic tourists probably have similar experiences to relate in various establishments. This unfairness, unfortunately, being perpetrated by fellow black Kenyans.

I have been to both Java and Artcaffe's (various ones) and I do not hesitate to wave over the head waiter and be very clear that I expect service to begin with and that I will tip based on quality of service. Some people respond...others don't. In any event, I sit on any area that does not have a clear, "reserved" sign and NEVER hesitate to raise my voice if I am even a little bit unhappy. Restaurants hate embarrassment in front of other clients more than ANYTHING else. Be clear and fair in your assessment. Finally...remember that all these waiters / waitresses are on MINIMUM wage and probably had to beg for their jobs despite good qualifications, etc. THEY WORK FOR TIPS! So don't go to an upmarket place expecting not to tip AT LEAST 10% of your spend. That's just CHEAP! You can go to lots of other places with similar food (eggs, meat , booze, friends, music, etc.) But this is a high-end establishment. plan your spending accordingly!

What Immoral activity? Other than the Croissant scandal I have never heard of anything. Tell us here bwana @Mawinder.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..
