I went to NTT on a Friday to appreciate their newly installed pool table on the 2nd floor. The service was just rude the whole way through. Firstly the waitress who took my order made a sly comment about how I'm choosing the cheapest beer on tap (15 yuan Tsingdao draft, good value if you don't care about 'face'). I was willing to overlook that when the pool game started up. But the aggression didn't end. The chefs hovered around the table, warning my friend to keep his cigarette away from the table, and then telling me to "stop sitting" on a table I was merely leaning against, slightly.

But the coup-de-gras came as we were leaving. One arrogant chef accused my friend of stealing the board chalk, you know, the little piece of chalk worth 5 fen that is used to write your name on the board for playing pool. He followed us as we were leaving, saying we stole the chalk, and a manager even came over and got involved. Unbelievable. Not only had he not stolen the chalk, but even if he had pocketed a piece of chalk in an inebriated state (as sponsored by them), was it truly such a valuable thing as to require calling my friend a chalk thief in front of an avid 2nd floor audience, disturbed from their banter and focused exclusively on this scene?

I love pool, and they have a good pool table and it's not too crowded. Too bad the chefs and manager are ridiculously rude.

I don't know where the attitude comes from. It's clearly not good for business. If you are rude to one customer then other potential customers will hear about it. Anyway, glad to hear that it wasn't an isolated incident. That means it wasn't just a chef having a bad day - it's actually his defining characteristic to be an arsehole whose behaviour is damaging to the business. Maybe he thinks if he scares all the customers away he can play pool himself. Whatever, I won't be going back.
