Great Spice Papamoa
Last night decided to get some curry for dinner, went to our local and called ahead of time to place our orders at 7pm, we were told that it would be 40 minutes delay. Went up to Foursquare to get some other items and proceeded to Great Spice to collect our order at 7.45pm, mentioned to the lady our name and awaited our order. ONLY to wait another hour before our meal was passed over to us.
I am glad that this restaurant is busy, would have been good if the lady who took our order told us before hand that they were extremely busy and would be 1.5hrs delay in orders, and we could have made up our mind to go ahead with the order or just go up later!!!!
There was another lady there to collect her order who had been told they were just waiting for a driver to deliver their order and she found out that they were only just starting to prepare the order.
Suggestion!!! be honest on delivery times as I am sure the locals understand that its holiday season and can make the decision to either proceed or make another plan.
The curry as always good here but the service was al little (actually big) disappointing.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
