Whilst entering this fish and chips shop today, we were greeted by very rude customer service, followed by being told off by not mentioning the 'specials offer' immediately when entering, as the signage was not clear as another customer struggled with the same problem about the offer.

She asked if we wanted chip shop curry or Chinese and also said chip shop is the best. So we asked for that. We also asked for 2 bread cakes, we got home and she gave us 2 Chinese curry sauces and no bread cakes even though we paid for it! Seems a little unprofessional seen as though we were the only ones there and she was stood waiting for the fish to be ready....
