Sainsbury's cafe

[sunflower68]

I just wanted to share this with you. I was in the cafe with 10 KS4 kids, they all had �1.40 to spend. Two girls wanted to share a pot of tea for 1 so asked for 2 cups. Guess what?? They were not allowed! The lady said that if they were given 2 cups "everybody would want one and I might run out of cups". If I had not been busy losing my rag I may have split my sides with laughter. By the way we got our 2nd cup.

It is all about money in these large supermarkets.Now if you went into a little high street cafe,you would have been offered another cup.

I can understand the business side of most rules but not when it involves a petty thing like this especially for a child.

Probably because they have made a massive loss from stolen chocolate raisins ....... (see shopping !)

sorry .. food and drink

I know lady-p. They have heard of you, so have I. Is that why the security guard was standing over the choccy raisins when I went in?

Should have asked for 2 straws!

IAP the cups are behind the counter in ours. I felt like asking the assistant wiping tables if I could have a cup, however I did not want her to get into unnecessary trouble over me. ( A CUP!!!) You have a valid point over them being from a contract catering firm though. I am always so impressed by the customer service at Sainsbury's, but when it comes to the cafe they have a reputation for really shoddy and slow service. I'm gonna look into this though. Couldn't do it at the time, with the children but it's still bugging me. Thanks.
