Quite a disappointing interaction with a member of staff today. We frequent the Isle of White often, and usually the chocolate shop is the first stop. We went in with our children today, and whilst I was at the counter deciding on our purchase our kids were sat at the table quietly entertaining themselves with my wife playing with the sugar packets. Without any word an elder gentleman member of staff came to the table and snatched them off my son, my wife commented ‘obviously we would have put them back before we left’ and he aggressively replied ‘well problem solved now’.

Not only this, after making our purchase we were stood on the pavement outside packing our things away into our pram and he stood in the doorway staring at us as if we were some gang of miscreants about to cause a nuisance. Even the other members of staff were overheard asking him what his problem was. I wish I hadn’t spent any money there to be honest, and certainly won’t be again.

Can I suggest sir, if you don’t like children in your presence, a chocolate shop probably isn’t the ideal work environment for you? So rude, I’m sorry but we won’t be back.
