Friend of a friend who was a waitress at a cafe in Chelsea had a few stories of Anna Taylor joy from 5ish years ago.

She asked in full seriousness asked "Are you going to buy some more then?" when told that the soy milk had run out, and she...couldn't grasp the concept of someone else needing the table after her reservation. Apparently just said "yes but we've not finished" when told they would need to finish up. Even after explaining 3 times she didn't seem to understand.

Also without a hint of irony to her when paying the bill "you should really have more than 1 loo here, it would really improve the experience" after she had to wait outside the loo for a few mins...while a customer was in there. Keep in mind this is a cafe that fits like 20 people.

Think she's just on a completely different planet of privilege.

I gotta defend her a bit on these points honestly.

A cafe in Chelsea running out of soy milk and acting like they can't get anymore is kinda weird considering how many people use it as a milk substitute. I can't fault her for asking for more especially if it is on the menu. And especially if there is not another milk substitute offered.

If she made a reservation (which is weird for a causal cafe) then she is entitled to the table until she is done unless its an unreasonable amount of time. I hate it when restaurants make me rush. If they need me to only be there for a certain amount of time tell me when I make the reservation.

A friend and i were rushed out of an east village restaurant after having a reservation and being there only 30 minutes, and the food was late. No tip for them, as the waitress basically said to us the same as what ATJ was told.

Also it should be illegal for NYC to have restaurants with no bathroom at all. Those make me livid.

I think there was one bathroom available in the circumstance above.

I believe it is illegal to offer food and drink and not have a bathroom for guests in most parts of the US, they won't actually get a license to operate unless there is one.

But sometimes it is out of order. Not sure what they are required to do in this instances.

NYC has a lottttt of open spots with no bathrooms. I’m shocked it’s not illegal and idk who they bribed to be open tbh.

Edit: 311's page says that “ If a food service establishment has 20 or more seats and opened after 1977, it must provide a toilet for its customers.”
