Descrimination in Australian restaurants

The Spinners Restaurant in Conrad Jupiters Gold Coast has double standards.

On the 17th May 2014 we wanted to have lunch at the Spinners.

After waiting for a table for several minutes we were told that we have a much longer wait as some VIP's that arrived long after us will get a table before us.

As if this was not enough degradation, we were told to leave the queue and step aside into the foyer to allow others to pass through.

When we asked for the reason we were told this is the norm of the restaurant.

We spoke to the manager of the restaurant and she validated this.

We were all hotel guests and were staying at the Conrad Jupiters Hotel at the time.

We had a family gathering with three rooms celebrating a 60th birthday at the Jupiters.

After this incident we had to find lunch outside the Jupiters Hotel.
