Lunch on Sunday was enjoyed at the headquarters of Wang Jia Sha, at Nanjingxilu 805 in Shanghai, after our earlier lunch at their branch office. A worthwhile experience with a lesson in Shanghai style customer relations.
Compared to the branch store, quality of the headquarters was much better. Heating was working and upstairs you actually had a service at the table. the store was divided in two classes, downstairs for the take-away´s and food for the poor. Upstairs better quality food for higher prices, and smaller dishes. Service was excellent and fast; waitresses used electronic equipment, although an occasional shout added to the nice ambiance.

While walking downstairs, the chief cook was involved in a heated argument with one of the clients, who claimed to have found an insect in her food. While the cook was prepared to compensate the client with a 100 Renminbi, he fell short of straight forward apology, like would be standard practice elsewhere.

This was a mistake that falls in the range of being given forgiveness. When you make a vegetable dish as home, there is always a small chance of a bug getting into you food.The client demanded a full a¨apology, and possible a higher compensation too. We did not wait to see if she got it.
