I
hesitated
to
write
this
review
because
I
don't
want
to
spread
negativity,
but
I
feel
a
responsibility
to
future
visitors
of
this
cafe.
On
my
first
visit
everything
was
great
the
cafe
itself
is
quite
cool,
I
ordered
a
few
coffees
and
settled
in
to
do
some
work
on
my
laptop.
The
next
morning,
I
followed
the
same
routine.
But
this
time
an
older
woman
likely
the
manager
or
possibly
the
owner
abruptly
approached
me,
instructing
me
to
move
to
an
inside
room
for
lunch
service.
Note
that
there
were
2-3
other
people
also
on
their
laptops
who
weren't
given
the
same
directive.
This
was
despite
the
fact
that
the
cafe
was
nearly
empty,
as
you
can
see
in
the
attached
image.
For
me
the
issue
wasn't
what
she
said,
but
how
she
said
it.
I've
traveled
to
over
45
countries
and
visited
hundreds
of
cafes
worldwide,
and
I've
never
been
approached
so
rudely.
It
felt
like
she
was
singling
me
out
while
expecting
me
to
read
her
mind
To
be
clear,
this
isn't
about
financial
concerns.
I
tipped
the
baristas
generously,
far
exceeding
the
price
of
the
coffee
itself.
I
don't
mind
paying
more;
it's
the
principle
of
treating
customers
with
respect
that
matters
to
me.
I
found
out
I'm
not
the
only
one
who
felt
this
way;
another
person
at
a
nearby
cafe
that
I
met
this
week
had
a
similar,
unwelcoming
experience
at
Dit’
e
Nat’
with
this
specific
lady.
I
do
want
to
note
that
the
rest
of
the
staff
are
AWESOME,
they
have
a
great
group
of
baristas.
It’s
sad
that
one
person
is
jeopardizing
the
reputation
of
the
cafe.
