Aggression At The Fish Market in Georgia 🇬🇪

Aggression At The Fish Market in Georgia 🇬🇪
Join me as we visit the fish market of Batumi in Georgia, and select one of my favorite fish.
From the market we go straight to the grill at one of the nearby restaurants and an experienced chef cooks up a feast.
See how we cope with diabolical service and local aggression !!!🤪
If you enjoy adventure videos from the former Soviet Union and Central & Eastern Europe, then grab your vodka, some zakusky and join me as we visit the Fish Market of Batumi in Georgia and rustle up a feast

    I've visited Georgia 5 times and each time I notice the uneven service. There were many times I ordered several dishes and one came out much later than the others; often I didn't want it anymore at that point. Many restaurants have no clue how to time the service. The dishes just come out whenever they're ready without any planning on the chef's part. There's no excuse for a salad and compote to come out after you've finished eating a fish.

    Very strange pretension as for me. Not all countries have the same standards of service. I don't mean that some standards are low, they are just different. Many people just don't care if they have to eat a salad a bit later than fish. You may not like it but it's better to pay because people have done their job.

    This is a problem in Georgia. They bring you food whenever its ready. You can get main food then desert , then appetisers. Everything is mixed up and messed up. Its very frustrating when you eat with group of friends and you all order at the same time but you get food in different times. So one is already finished eating and another didn't even get his appetiser. If you wouldn't be a youtuber, they would get much more aggressive. They only handled this situation in somewhat better way , because you were filming.

  • @xtrathings5552

    I think you understood that the lady at the end was on your side (as you thanked her) but still want to make clear what she said to waitress at 9:27 "if you were late he wont pay for it, 15 minutes is too much he had already finished the fish" then waitress kinda says an excuse that last table was just taken (indicating that restaurant was full I think) but again second lady tells her it doesnt matter. dont know what`s her position in restaurant but she knows how to run a business. some1 will say to just pay that 10-15$ and not make a scene but restaurant should also know how to do business and satisfy (cost for the restaurant would be so tiny for that) the guest so he/she might come again next day and order 10 times more. it`s not always like that, for example Khinkali on one day they brought very fast, but on other we got it after we`ve finished khachaburi , kebab and all drinks :D it took so long I could make it from scratch on my own :D once it`s delicious and after 1-2 weeks it was so terrible i`ve not even finished.( all this in same branch of zodiaco in Tbilisi) we just lack consistency :D
