The Garibaldi — Restaurant in Woking

I visited the venue today. As per government guidelines I scanned the QR code to check in. I was then told I had to leave my contact details on a piece of paper as well and that this was mandatory. As a single woman living alone, I feel very unsafe leaving my details on paper so I left. Covid guidelines in England on contact tracing states that if a customer chooses to use the QR code to check into a venue, you SHOULD NOT ask them for their contact details as well.

I had no option but to buy additional unwanted drinks to put the bill over £10 as I didn't have any cash on me. it's the only place I've been to in a very long time that won't accept payments under a certain amount, and even then its usually less than £3. In this day and age that's not exactly customer friendly. Yes it costs the business money for taking card payments, but it's usually around 0.5% which equates to 2.5p on a £5 taking. If it's costing the management more - they really should...
