I don't understand how can your staff attitude/ service be so horrible. It's like their life is not going well and they need to take it out onto the customers.I came in to grocery shop with my dad, he was paying at the cashier and asked me to go buy some lottery tickets. I went to the lottery ticket counter, the cashier there was chitchatting with other cashiers. I wait for a few minutes, and one cashier came to me and started speaking Chinese to me. I said Idk… She took my cash and went over to a machine, she put the money into the machine and left. Meanwhile she kept accusing me of something. I said: dont talk to me like that. She started screaming something at me in Chinese.I ended up having to figure out how to use the machine myself because she put my money into the machine and just left.On my way out, she was standing right by the door. I told her: you are not supposed to treat people like that. Thats not nice. She started screaming with a fist, saying: She's busy! She can't help you! It's faster! It's faster! You dont listen! It's faster!This is literally so ridiculous.

I had lunch with family in Shanghai Gourmet.We've been to this restaurant a few times before and always enjoy the food.They have a great lunch special menu.Shredded pork w/ fish sauce was good with rice.Like most Shanghai dishes, it is a little sweeter.Fish Fillet w/ Wine Sauce was very tasty.The fish fillet was soft, and the sauce was very flavorful.Very tender Shanghai style rib w/ tomato sauce.Also good with rice.House Special Ham w/ Yam in Wine Sauce was my favorite dish of the day.The sauce is the same as the fish dish, but more flavorful because of the ham.The mountain yam was crunchy and so very tasty.Fried Rice Cake w/ Crabmeat is a very Shanghai dish.Love the chewy rice cake and the flavor of the crab.We had the meat ball w/ crabmeat soup at the end of the meal.Soft meatball with crabmeat stuff inside.Lots of napa cabbage and glass noodle in the soup.We had a great lunch at Shanghai Gourmet.I'd definitely come back again.
