"Can you not read the menu, hurry up? " This is the reply I got 2 days ago when I asked which extra dressing I should choose for my Sirloin Salad at Purple Tomato. I wasn't slow at ordering. I only have 30 minutes for lunch (Plus they know me I'm a repeat customer).I was then ignored while they dealt with another customer. Perhaps the guy was still angry with me when I suggested to him a few weeks ago that he shouldn't use the same gloves for taking the money (which had lots of coins) and

Fine you might say, it's worth putting up with some rudeness, and even some poor hygiene practices because the salads are good. Except they aren't, not any more. After waiting nearly 20 minutes I had to work my ... off to chew the leather like flavorless beef. To be fair the lettuce was crispy and the boiled egg was just how it should be in a salad; nice and firm. The cucumbers and tomatoes, although fresh were just like the meat; without any taste, sterile.
It is no surprise that the place doesn't do much walk in business anymore and they are focusing only on online orders because they don't want to deal with their customers in person. People ordering from them online will never see them using dirty gloves or even no gloves at all! And they don't have to respect their loyal patrons.
So goodbye Purple Tomato, you were good but now you don't need me anymore, so you have become bad.
