St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Church - New London, Connecticut

I've been going to your Greek food festivals for much of my life, and it has been a positive experience.
But:
I was there today and accused of not paying. I said I paid w/credit card. No matter why they thought I wasn't paying, I wish my answer was accepted. I even pointed out who took my credit card. Then she sent a customer to tell me I hadn't paid. My heart rate, and presumably blood pressure, were elevated during this encounter. At the end when she said she learned I had paid, I said I knew I had paid, so don't tell me I had done what I already knew I did [and told her I did].

P.S. She could have started the conversation with: Have you paid yet? Or, "Was this a phone order?" The latter was unnecessary, as it wasn't a phone order, but she could have asked if she somehow thought it was. Also, I think certain people, based on their looks, are more likely to get profiled as possible thieves. Her saying I didn't pay, when I was starting to leave, showed an expectation that I was likely enough a food thief to have not even asked* for clarification on what was happening. Her not taking my word for it, bolsters my position, as I didn't act rudely or anything that should have put her on the defensive/offensive.
*Her stating I didn't pay was accusational.

Later 2024 update: I didn't get a huge order like last time after what happened. Amazing how they don't even care to comment here or anything....

Beautiful inside. A feast for the eyes. A warm and sincere priest led the funeral service. We had lunch in the church hall. The volunteer group set up the tables and provided a lovely addition to a special day. I have attended a Greek dance there prior to the shut down on New Year’s Eve. The spacious wooden floor is meant for dancing.

I could feel the presence of the Good Lord at this Church. I was introduced to this beautiful Greek Church by my Dearest friend, Angela Economy. So saddened by her sudden loss. I miss this lovely and Spiritual woman, with all my heart. She loved this Church.
I can see why. She also gave me the gift of Spirituality. The greatest gift of all.

Love, love the Greek Food Festival. The ladies club have a fundraiser where they make Greek pastries for Christmas. It is reasonable and the quality and taste is outstanding.

Our family has attended St Sophia for almost 20 years. We have found the community warm, welcoming and a great place to connect into and raise children.

Greek food festival!!! Always wonderful atmosphere, efficiently run for both dine in and take out. Of course, the food and desserts are a seasonal favorite.

Food fest is a must each year, but needs some organization
