I agree with most of your comments
about Ming Dong,
ex. poor service, lousy food.
In Chinatown,
I think Beijing and Keung Kee are quite decent.
Their service are efficient and not impolite.
Someone mentioned dialect difference in Chinatown restaurants.
Long time ago, for a long period, most of the restaurant staff spoke Toisanese.
Speaking Cantonese wasn't really popular.
Then time changed, more Cantonese-speaking Chinese from HK worked in the trade.
Now most Chinese immigrants(Mainland or Taiwan) speak Mandarine.
If someone shows disrespect just because the others speak a different dialect or language,
then it just shows that person's ignorance.
There is no reason to generalize
the language group
that the person belongs
to say that the entire group is rude.
It can be further extended
to say that certain racial group is lazy,
or certain ethnic group commits more crime,
or certain group has worse sanitary habits than others, ...
It is tribalism at work here.
There is a tendency to divide people
based on dialect, language, home land,
religion, political view, race, ..., etc.
Don't fall into the trap.
Judge a specific restaurant by the relevant criteria, an individual by the behaviour.
Don't judge an entire group
by the behaviour of a few individuals. |
