Called
into
M&S
Carlisle
today
for
a
quick
coffee.
One
of
the
least
salubrious
of
M&S
in
store
cafes
I
have
visited,
an
establishment
I
would
avoid
just
for
that
reason
and
that
there
are
plenty
more
attractive
and
comfortable
cafes
close
by
to
enjoy.
My
main
gripe
with
this
place,
after
I
purchased
my
cup
of
coffee,
and
was
informed
after
requesting
a
saucer
for
my
cup
that
they
no
longer
provide
cups
with
saucers,
PHILISTINES!
......
WAS,
that
25
-
30%
of
the
vacant
seats
and
tables
were
covered
with
used
dirty,
cups,
plates,
trays
and
food
debris.
I
located
one
table
to
the
extreme
of
the
cafe
which
was
not
littered
with
this
filth
and
where
I
found
the
table
clearer,
engaged
in
conversation
with
a
customer.
I
asked
her
why
a
significant
number
of
tables
were
left
as
mentioned
above,
(
note
this
was
not
a
peak
time,
4pm
ish
).
She
replied,
"
I
have
been
working
overtime
and
now
I
am
finished,
why
don't
you
sit
at
a
table
which
is
not
covered"?
She
continued
with
her
conversation
with
a
customer.
Conclusion.
I.
I
expect
a
saucer
with
my
cup,
see
photo.
II.
I
do
not
expect
to
have
to
visually
search
for
a
clean
unoccupied
table
free
of
dirty
crockery
and
food
waste.
III.
I
do
expect
any
eatery
establishment
to
immediately
clear
a
table
once
a
customer
has
vacated
it.
IV.
I
do
not
expect
after
enquiring
with
a
member
of
staff
to
be
addressed
in
an
impertinent,
disrespectful
and
unhelpful
manner.
This
is
there
attitude,
a
lack
of
training,
a
manner
of,
I
really
don't
care.
Sloppy
poor
service,
and
a
messy,
dirty,
unhygienic
environment.
Please
avoid
this
place
they
do
not
deserve
your
custom.
