London - Cafes & Coffee Shops - Ice Cream Parlours - Cafes & Coffee Shops
They may have delicious ice cream, but after being chastised by one of the staff in Haagen-Dazs today, i feel it is my duty to tell the world. Let me set the scene -
We were sitting outside the shop in the Haagen Dazs seating area when it began to rain. We had about 1/2 a coffee left, so we decided to go inside to the indoor seating area. As soon as we sat down with our coffees we were immediately approached by an ill tempered staff member and were informed that customers who purchase £3.50 coffees in cardboard cups cannot bring them into the inside area.
"But it's raining" i said....
"Sorry you must leave" she replied.
"But you only have 3 customers sat down. The area looks like it could accommodate 50!".
"Sorry, please leave" she said again.
"Are you honestly telling me you are going to make us (customers!) drink this coffee in the pouring rain outside"
"Yes" She said coldy.
This is where i almost lost it. Wild thoughts of pulling out a sawn off shotgun, firing into the ceiling and announcing to everyone that the sheriff was in town and that he was taking prisoners. But alas, in true English fashion, i held my tongue. Instead, i vent my frustration here (where it will probably reach more people anyway).
Review in one line: Great ice cream, crap staff. It's as simple as that.
