I went to the herb centre this afternoon for an important business meeting. On entering the waitress (blond hair european) was on her mobile. She barely looked up to welcome us! it was more of a what do you want, we asked if they were still open as there was a broom propped up on one of the tables. She answered by saying yeah (with a very unwelcoming look) we should of left then and there but i was too embarrassed. we ordered a tea and moved to the cleanest table which was covered in old food and flies. The tea was actually nice but we were bitterly appalled by the service and non welcoming filthy tables and customer service. Come on Christchurch we need to attract people not put them off!!!!
