Why the f**k do you have to be so abysmally rude and unhappy? It seems like every time I walk into your café I’m interrupting some deeply personal affair, in which I, apparently, have no business interrupting. You work in a café! I’m a customer! If you want to be unhappy, don’t open a café!
— I wouldn’t even go there if I didn’t like the tea selection.

Seeing as this might be the owner of said cafe, perhaps talking to him/her might make an impact that talking to a regular peon would not. Also, I might be naive here, but there are other places in HRM that would have a good selection of tea. Seek them out, speak with your wallet if plan A fails.
You could always say in a Clint Eastwood snarl: ‘My asshole is loaded with carpet nails and if I don’t get some service, I’m gonna drop my pants and nail your worthless hides to the espresso machine.’
What do you expect? Half the charm of a “cafè” is the snotty attitude. I love just ordering a black coffee and walking away without leaving a tip. Absolute fun!
The key to dealing with snobs is to out-snob them. The ole “more righteous than though”.
omg dr fever- get a life
F7— The OP bitches about getting poor service at a cafe, and I’m the one who needs to get a life? Interesting. I just figure if you’re stupid enough to pay 4 bucks for something like tea, you’ve got bigger problems than getting poor service. Oh, and by the way, nice use of that little OMG gem. What are you, 12?
F off F7. Fever’s my man.
Gotta go with the Dr. on this one.
mmmmmmm…..black coffee.
Damned straight Doc F!! Not tipping snobby stuck up cafe owners/operators/staff is the way to go!! FTW!
I think it’s a valid bitch. If you work in customer service of any kind service your customer with a smile or simply stay home since you’re unable to perform your duties… that goes for owners too. When misery loves company I go shopping… to be met with more misery? Fuck that.
…and black coffee makes a dandy eyewash!
God damn the gravitational pull of those lovely teas.
