I like this bakery.

Today, the light-haired girl was busy, and a dark-haired woman was working the register. She was pleasant to the Portuguese man in front of me, but when it was my turn, her attitude changed. She seemed annoyed and was very short with me, making me feel unwelcome. Because of this, I'll be taking my business back to Nova Era. I'm very disappointed because I wanted to make this my daily...
