I went to La Porchetta in Williamstown for lunch with my daughter & my friend & her daughter; I was starving. We ordered our food, I got digging into my Risotto dish, as I began eating the first few bites I saw a piece of HAIR in it... It completely turned me off as it was a black short curled up whispy type hair & coarse. It put me off my food & I didn't feel comfortable eating from that same dish, so I told the waitress what happened & she took my plate away in order to get me another. In the meantime the others sat eating their meals and so I had 2 just sit there n wait for my replacement dish. As I sat waiting, I took some chips off my daughters plate which was a kids meal and as I sat there pecking at her plate, I saw ANOTHER piece of HAIR similar to the first one but now in my daughters meal upon her chips; a Second strand of hair... I couldn't believe it! My meal came out & I accepted it being so hungry but I did indeed tell the waitress that I had found yet another HAIR in another dish/meal on that table. She apologized. Now after our meals were done, I expected some sort of discount on our bill because of the not one, but two hairs that were found in our food. I expressed this to a waiter that was serving us that we should get some sort of discount or the kids meal waived atleast. He went & spoke to the manager (who happened to be the girl waitress who I had complained to & who knew very well as she had delivered & taken the food away). He came back saying that the manager had approved a no charge on the chips in the kids meal which was like a $5-6.00 discount. I explained that this was barely much of a discount & that one of the meals should be waived, at least the kids meal! Because I requested this, she caved in & gave me what I wanted all the while being very rude about it. No apologies, no offerings, I had 2 ask, practically plead for the kids meal to be waived & she treated me as if I had no right in asking even after I had found not one but TWO strands of HAIR in 2 seperate dishes... she acted extremely rude! so Not a good impression at all; which is sad because I am normally a fan of La Porchetta but now definitely not the one in Williamstown!
Approximate cost: $18
I booked a carpert cleaning job over the telephone making sure I booked a time which was After dropping my kid off 2 school. It would've been 10am or 9.30am. The guy apparently came at 9am while I was doing school drop offs; when I got back home, I waited and waited & then ended up having 2 ring the company back in which they sent back the owners son 'Jason'? who arrived at my door with no greeting, no 'hello', no smile & quite obviously chewing gum... I was very friendly & invited him in, I proceeded to show him the carpet & areas in need of steam cleaning - he then quoted me a price over $100 which was much higher than the quote I got over the phone initially. I argued that that wasn't what I was told over the phone & why has it become more expensive? He proceeded to argue with me & declare that my carpet was 'dirty' & he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to remove the stains in the carpet. Even with no guarantee of a complete clean, he still charged me higher than the initial over the phone quote; when I argued or debated this, he then attempted to negotiate with me by lowering the price. What I disliked the most was his rude & blatent Attitude. He was extremely rude & in the end (after arguing with me & repeatedly proclaiming that it would cost because my carpet was dirty)... Isn't that the reason u call Carpet Cleaners in the 1st place? because your carpet is dirty!!! He then shared the assumption with me that "oh you wouldn't be happy, I know you wouldn't like the job I do", In the end He said to me 'your not going to like what I am about to do' and then he left! Walked out! No Apology for any misunderstanding, no goodbye... I have never felt so disrespected & been treated so rudely by any company before in my life. So Unfortunatly I do NOT recommend their services & I would never ever use JMEL Carpet Cleaning ever again! the guy who came (Jason) was extremely rude & didn't seem confident in his job / career ability / capabilities.
Approximate cost: $90-100

Thanks for your review, will definitely steer clear of this place!
Hi DioneM, while some of us certainly need more roughage in our diets, human hair is not a great option, particularly when it belongs to someone else! While no offense is intended, why is it that we (consumers) feel the need to bargain with unhygienic businesses in order to garner a discount? Perhaps we all need to vacate the premises immediately upon discovery of any health violation, after taking photos for evidentiary purposes. Businesses like this clearly underestimate the power of the consumer (and review websites like WOMO) and while they may indeed make money on the day in question, they lose a lot more in the long run. And for the record, businesses should learn how to render a basic and appropriate apology. Itâ??s also interesting to note that our local La Porchetta has been shut down (repeatedly) for health violations. Thanks for disclosing your experience. Regards, Reeces
