WordCamp Toronto

We arrived at 8:30 pm Friday September 4 2009 and left by 10:30 pm that same night. They gave us cottage 3 and it was a dump!!! carpenter ants every where including coming out of the coffee maker where there was old coffee grounds full of mold. I pulled back the blanket on the bed and there were spiders. The front office/store is nasty dirty. We have been renting cottages for years and I must say this is the worst I have ever seen. Disgusting!! It was not a cottage it was a shack no bigger than my one car garage.

It's a small restaurant, but like any other, they have their lunch & dinner rushes. I've personally heard the owner of the restaurant yell at his employees for simply not picking up dishes from tables while walking back to the counter. If an employee isn't doing what you want, the last thing to do is yell at them! Here's a few tips to the owner. Point it out to your employee, most of the time they don't know want you want because they can't read your mind. Tell them in a non-confrontational manner, it's absorbed better that way! I wouldn't take it from him, however, as customers, it is not in our position to do anything directly about it. Needless to say, I will NEVER step foot into a restaurant who's owner/manager etc. treats it's employees in such a manner.P.S. The pad thai was literally tasteless compared to Salad King and the one on Baldwin just to name a few and the vegetarian dishes were served with fish sauce. 2 staff because of the low budget. I walked to the washroom & saw on my way one of them looking up from a binder how to make a drink a customer ordered. Ha!

Interesting fact: the student centre was 100% student funded. No financing from either the college or the private sector. And they're now applying the same model to their upcoming athletics building.

Staying there for WordCamp Toronto 2008. Great price/quality value so far.
