Norms review

| | Comments (12) |

I got this email this morning of an anonymous West Covina resident who "reviewed" the West Covina Norms for himself/herself:

"... I decided to test the new NORM'S in West Covina.

They didn't pass my somewhat mediocre benchmarks. Suggest you try it yourself before you write your next article.

My experience this morning:

7:00 A. M. Hesitancy about seating me where I tried to sit.

Waitress let me know that "Oatmeal" was only instant microwave. Deal breaker!

Two eggs and fruit (only melon) was OK - but NO biscuits and gravy today.

Coffee - Only "non-dairy" creamer. Would have preferred half-and-half. No biggie.

On my table - - No catsup, jelly or extra paper napkins.

My coffee refill was on time. (without asking) I waited but NO CHECK on table - had to go to register but the attendant didn't seem to know what to do with me. (He was willing to pay the odd penny.)

I didn't venture into the Restroom but the new facility looks nice and clean. No "take-out" until after November first due to an occasional long line.

Who has had similar experiences?

What the hell does this have to do with City Hall?? Did Dolores Holguin try to get a free meal there? 'Cause if she did, then I can see the relation.

Nothing, really. But since I covered the opening of the restaurant earlier this week, and did snap a bunch of politicians at the grand opening, I figured, why not?

So like can I get a discount? Please?! I hate paying what all you average people have to pay.

This is for the idiot who keeps trying at a very lame attempt at humor. Obviously you are a very sadistic, self-hating individual and you live and breath to make fun of someone else. A little advice, GROW UP!

Well, for what it's worth, I drove by the restaurant on Sunday evening and saw a whole lot of people sitting outside waiting to be seated.
