If I could give this place 0 I would. I went in for a bagel and asked for egg with salad and pinged to bagels in the counter. They asked me to wait as fresh was being made and so I paid for that and a m&m cookie while I waited. After a few minutes I was handed the bagel with no salad and asked them to put it in as that’s what I ordered. they then argued that they only sell egg and onion. I confirmed I asked with salad and they went back to put it in only for someone else to come back out and say the owner won’t allow them and it’s not what they do.

I took the refund and left and ate across the road in a much nicer place. Very strange...

Train disruptions this morning forced me into taking a cab to the nearest coffee shop in Bushey. A place called Mattys on Bushey High street opposite Morrisons.

No wifi and raining outside so I sat in a corner and went straight into the meeting keeping as quiet as possible. No one asked if they could bring me a coffee or anything else but gave me hostile looks throughout my meeting. After I went to the counter - explained and apologised again, and offered to buy some take away croissants - still a wall of unsmiling unfriendly faces. Perhaps the owner needs to do some kicking to wake up these girls to the fact that a warm greeting and a pleasant ambiance is usually the standard. A real...
