I’m writing this because I believe the owner or management team needs to be aware of how one of their employees treated me this morning. I stopped by NOOBAR at around 7 AM near Gate B7. I was hungry and ordered the breakfast fried rice to go, which came out to about $18. I understand airport pricing, so that wasn’t an issue—I just wanted a decent meal before my flight.
After getting my food, I realized I still had some time before boarding, so I sat at one of their tables to eat. The restaurant was mostly empty aside from a family of four, and plenty of tables were available. While I was quietly eating, an employee (I didn’t catch her name, but she had a visible eye condition—only mentioning this for identification purposes) approached me and rudely told me I needed to leave because my food was ordered “to-go.”
Now, I could maybe understand this if the restaurant was packed or people were waiting for tables—but it wasn’t. The tone she used was completely unnecessary and left me feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. I didn’t argue because I didn’t want to cause a scene, but it was frustrating and frankly, a little humiliating.
If the expectation is that to-go orders can’t be eaten at the table even when seats are clearly available, then that needs to be posted somewhere or explained nicely. A little courtesy goes a long way, especially when someone is just trying to enjoy a quick breakfast in peace before a flight.
I hope management takes this seriously and addresses the behavior. Situations like this reflect poorly on the business and turn away future customers.
