When visiting the Dunfermline costa with two friends,a member of staff made me feel very small and embarrassed.

GF foods are phased out ( even in supermarkets) in favour of vegan foods and vegan foods are not gluten free. It's discrimination. The Americano and Cappuccino coffees were tasteless,watery with a bitter after taste. I found that quality of coffee at Costa varies hugely and it's never the same, regardless which Costa one visits. Varies from really great to...
