I was treated horribly today at the Beachwood Cafe.
One of the staff went out yelled at me before I had a chance to even walk in the door to order something.
No, I do not go in there to tie up a table. I don't have time to do that.
This is what people could have thought after watching me being yelled at like that. So I would say avoid that place. It was so humiliating and unfair and possibly could happen to you.
I have only been in there once before.
I had to get to work and answer email, and I wanted to get a nice breakfast and I was willing to wait. Answer my mail and go to work.
The man who came out, talking to me in very loud voice, really humiliated me.
It was a horrible way to start the day. I felt humiliated and very alone.
Talking about eating alone. I wasn't even allowed to do that in peace and dignity.
People were smirking and staring at me through the window as he yelled at me.
Clearly he pre-judged me, and I am warning others, if you want to go out with your computer, looking for a nice place to eat, and you have limited time, beware there may be a chance you might get yelled at the way I was. And who wants to start their day like that.
If they don't want people answering their mail there while they eat, then don't put up a wifi sign advertising public wifi.
What a waste of time, being treated like that.
They don't seem to communicate very well there.
The first time I went in, I was trying to order the benny, I waited for around ten minutes, before I went as far as I was allowed to go, to ask him for the benny so I could get to work, he gave me the password for the internet instead, ignoring what I was asking him for.
Then ten minutes later he came to my table and asked me for my order. As if I had time to be wasting like that. There was only two other tables to wait on, and they came in after me.
So I ordered a bagel. And then I thought maybe next time I will get the benny.
Then when I came in today to have a nice breakfast, he yelled at me like that, even though there was two empty tables and a man by himself possibly reading a book.
What a horrible experience.
It is demeaning to be pre-judged like that, and then people who were eating there, possibly assumed that i go in there all the time, tying up a table, and now I may be a victim of the rumour mill.
And all I wanted to do was have a nice breakfast, just like the other people.
Instead I was humiliated in a public place, people appeared to be staring and smirking at me through the window.
What a horrible experience. I say avoid it.
I won't ever go back in there again. Be warned. There are much nicer friendlier places to go to than that one. read more
