2 /5 solis javier “bear”: Disappointed Experience at the Bakery Café in Aransas Pass
Today my wife and I decided to grab lunch at the Bakery Café in Aransas Pass. She was in a bit of a time crunch, so we called in our order to go. When we arrived, we noticed the place wasn’t too busy—maybe 10 to 12 people—so we decided to sit down and eat there instead.
At the entrance, the sign said “Seat Yourself,” so we did. A waitress came by and we explained that we had ordered to go but wanted to dine in. She gave us a look and said “okay,” but as she walked away, she told another lady she wouldn’t serve us because she “wouldn’t get a tip.”
That honestly disappointed me. If she had just served us, she would’ve gotten a tip—because I always tip well when treated right. No one brought us our food; instead, the lady at the counter told us they don’t allow that because the waitresses don’t like it.
We had chosen to stay and eat there to support a local business, but the way it was handled left a bad taste. I told the lady at the counter that if the issue was about not getting a tip, that was the wrong mindset—because treating people right always comes back to you.
Moral of the story: treat people with kindness and respect, and you’ll always get what you deserve in return
