i am a huge love of my morning coffee and costa is just down the road from me so very easy to pop in. unfortunately these past few weeks iāve seen more of the so called ābranch managerā charlotte. she is very rude and disrespectful and makes mornings miserable. mornings are a very sensitive time for me as i am still half asleep and people can get under my skin very quickly. sheās so awful some mornings it ruins my day ahead . last week i bought a bun into the berklydale branch. i have had a rough couple of months so when i take anti depressant medication i like to wash it down with something sweet, this day a bun. i was very rudely shut down strait away saying i wasnāt allowed to eat the bun in the store. after my friend went to approach a table in the far corner because we wanted to get some work done in a quieter area in the store. soon after waking to this table i hear a shout i turn around and itās none other than the branch manager herself. the other girl working with her clearly felt pressured around this āmanagerā and looked nervous the whole time. costa in town is lovely but this one needs to...
