this is a story of an incident that happened last July 26, 2008.
it was my nephew's, Rheick, 5th birthday. we went to my favorite pizza hut place at Gateway Mall, Cubao. now, my brother, Yel, told us that pizza hut has this gimmick of giving birthday cakes to birthday celebrants who is celebrating on that day inside their restaurant. now, i don't really know about that. so i asked this guy working at pizza hut. he said "ay, wala po kami nung ganun sir.". i said, ok. so we settled for the what we have ordered. right after he answered my inquiry, the staff sang a happy birthday song, gathered around the celebrant and gave a birthday cake. WOW! i know, my nephew is just 5 years old. but i was offended. good thing my mom quickly talked about how much better Rheck's birthday song was when his classmates sang it for him. then after that, i told them that i amm re-considering their restaurant as my favorite one.
last August 8, 2008, chet and i went to Gateway. we were going to Yel at UE when she asked for pizza. i have forgotten about telling her about what happened and the location. when we were inside pizza hut, i remembered everything, it came back instantly.
i tried avoiding the table where we sat. when we were sitted at the table of our choice, i felt a heavy emotion starting to sprout out of me. when i was remembering what happened, tears suddenly started flowing down my eyes. it maybe so shallow on some, but for me, i felt that my nephew was treated so unfairly by Pizza hut on his birthday. i felt that that particular restaurant was so disgusting. i couldn't even appreciate their food. i cried. not because i'm so happy but because i'm so angry. i felt humiliated by the staff of pizza hut, and really felt that they owe my nephew an apology. it's not because of the birthday cake, it's because they misled, lied and clearly, don't know what i was clearly asking.
Pizza Hut at Gateway Mall in Cubao, YOU'RE SO DISGUSTING.
