âââââ âCustomer service? Not here.â
Popped into Tesco CafĂ© thinking Iâd grab a quick bite and maybe even encounter a bit of that legendary British politeness. Silly me. Instead, I was met with what can only be described as a live performance of âAttitude: The Musicalâ starring the cafĂ©âs young staff.
Apparently, asking simple questionsâlike whether an item was still availableâwas interpreted as a personal attack. The eye-rolls were practically choreographed. One staff member even managed to be unhelpful and cheeky in the same breath. Now thatâs talent.
Need to remove lettuce from a sandwich or any alterations? Donât bother. Youâll get more warmth from the fridge section. The general vibe? âWhy are you even here?â

We usually look forward to going to the cafe as our little end of the week treat, but Iâve been...

Two Pancakes served as kids meal certainly came out of a packet, not even warm, certainly not cooked at the premises. The banana pieces to go with it had black marks, probably it was the ones nobody bought at the shop floor! The hot breakfast somehow was served cold, possibly explained why we needed to wait around 35min. If you are vegetarian or vegan then donât even bother coming here! This cafe should be closed!
