So I was a customer at Al Deyafa for long time and I recently visited to handle some visa and labor card matters for my sister, and while the process was fine, my experience with the staff was disappointing. I had my two kids (3 and 2) with me, and like most children, they were playing quietly on the sofa, making harmless “vroom vroom” and “pew pew” sounds as they entertained themselves.
However, a staff member (who happened to be Filipina) claimed that my kids were being too loud and disturbing others. I found this unnecessary and overly critical, as their behavior was not disruptive—just typical for kids being kids.
While I understand the importance of maintaining a professional atmosphere, I believe there should also be understanding and patience, especially in a family-friendly environment where customers may bring children. Not even sitting there for 5 mins. It left me feeling uncomfortable and judged, and I hope al defaya staff can be more considerate in the future.
