I wonder if anyone will read this rant even though I'm writing it so long after the original post?
I was at Espressoholic last night with a large group of friends, around 10-11 people. We pulled two tables together and a few of us ordered coffees right away. I went up after 5-10 minutes and ordered two coffees for takeaway and the guy working there was behaving very strangely. He asked me several times if I was sure I wanted it for takeaway, then he told me that the cups take 30 years to biodegrade. (Thanks for the tip, but why do you sell them if they're so eco-unfriendly?)
After getting my coffees I returned to my table to join the others. About 5 people at my side of the group had bought coffee, though nobody at the other end had purchased any. Around 5-10 minutes later the same guy that served me came over and told these people that they were expecting a large group of people from the theatre show and that if they weren't ordering anything that they should leave. As soon as I learned of what happened I went up to the counter and confronted the guy about it and told him how rudely he treated my friends and that I would not be returning.
Up till now I'd been a pretty regular customer. Lately I've been in there about once a week. Oh well, there are heaps of other places in town.
