I politely described exactly how I would like my dry cappuccino and when I pointed out that the coffee that they had given me was neither dry or as I had asked I was told that I had to accept it and they wouldn't give me a "free coffee" although I hadn't even asked for a replacement. How the manager thought that behaviour was acceptable I have no idea. I have never had such a terrible experience in a Costa store and I'm a big admirer of their staff and coffee. The Egham shop is terrific. I have told them to keep the CCTV footage and complained to their Head office. Postscript. The next day I went to Virginia Water, explained what I wanted and that I knew it was difficult to make. Vanessa the manager didn't hesitate and told me that if it wasn't what I wanted it was free. And it was made exactly how I wanted it and the staff were delightful. Thank you Tia and...

I also tried to pay with a 50 pound note and was refused saying it was in there policy not to accept it. I understand that but next day there was a sign on the door cash only.pmsl.so rude staff and...
