Time Cafe & Market

I choose this café for two main reasons: the food they serve is very good quality, and the café is only about two minutes from my home. Overall, I genuinely like the food and the location.However, today at around 11:50 AM, I went to the café to purchase meat and injera, and unfortunately, I had another disappointing customer service experience.When I arrived, there was a female employee in the kitchen area and a male employee behind the bar. The male employee was using his phone and chewing gum. I approached him and asked who could help me with the meat order. He said something to me and pointed toward the kitchen. I understood that the other employee would assist me.Unfortunately, I was unable to communicate clearly with her because of the language barrier. I therefore went back to the male employee and asked again. He told me that someone else would help me. I patiently sat down and waited.Approximately 25 minutes later, the owner came in, politely apologized, and personally assisted me. I really appreciated the way she handled the situation.My main concern is that the male employee does not appear to understand that serving customers is part of his job responsibility. When I come to the café as a customer, his attitude sometimes makes me feel as though he is doing me a personal favor rather than performing his professional responsibility.This is also not the first time I have experienced this type of behavior from him. I have had similar customer service experiences on previous visits, which makes me feel that this is not simply a one-time mistake.I genuinely want to continue visiting this café because I like the food and it is extremely convenient for me. However, because of this customer service issue, I have started traveling 10–15 minutes to Engocha Market near Skyline to purchase the same type of food instead. That is disappointing because the problem is not the quality of the food—it is the customer service.
