I'm
extremely
disappointed
with
the
restaurant
refurbishment
at
your
Milton
Keynes
store.
Whilst
changes
in
the
rest
of
the
store
are
much
improved,
the
same
cannot
be
said
of
the
restaurant
area.
The
changes
seem
less
than
premium,
&
ill
thought
out
with
lots
of
wasted
space.
The
old
design
was
much
better.
There
is
now
reduced
choice
of
tables
for
customers
using
the
cafe,
as
well
as
insufficient
staff
operating
the
cafe
section.
It
is
frustrating
to
see
an
empty
restaurant
section
whilst
all
tables
in
the
cafe
side
are
occupied
meaning
nowhere
to
sit
with
your
order.
Due
to
the
low
ceiling
in
the
new
seating
area,
formerly
the
servery,
the
area
now
feels
claustrophobic
&
closed
in
-
made
worse
by
the
hanging
pendant
lights.
Queues
are
now
often
lengthy
for
coffee/cakes
-
often
extending
into
the
store
&
outside
the
toilets
which
is
hardly
inviting.
This
area
needs
more
than
1
or
2
staff.
A
MINIMUM
of
4
people
should
be
running
this
area.
The
waiting
area
to
collect
orders
is
always
cluttered
with
waiting
customers
&
difficult
to
obtain
napkins
&
cutlery.
Almost
all
the
customers
in
the
queue
with
us
all
had
the
same
negative
comments
on
the
new
design
v
the
old
design.
The
whole
restaurant
redesign
could
have
been
made
so
much
better
if
the
cafe
section
had
been
positioned
against
the
new
wall
for
the
new
book
&
toy
area.
Whoever
designed
the
new
area
clearly
has
no
idea
about
using
the
available
space
and
customer
experience.
By
comparison,
Frosts
at
Woburn
is
a
much
better
cafe
&
restaurant
experience.
I
think
the
redesign
of
the
cafe
will
simply
lose
trade
to
Frosts
as
a
result.
It's
also
baffling
why
the
men's
toilets
no
longer
has
any
urinals
with
all
using
3
cubicles.
This
is
causing
a
queue
to
use
them.
What
is
the
rational
behind
this?
