Mother outraged over treatment of child in cafe
A mother in New Zealand has lashed out at her favourite cafe after she discovered a nasty note from a worker directed to her daughter printed on a receipt.
Kimberly Sze said that she and her daughter eat at a local cafe called Coffee Supreme on a weekly basis, but that quickly ended after she discovered a rude note on a receipt.
The server had written the table was for the “Fam w(ith) the terrifying kid” and had overcharged her.
Kimberly was less concerned with being overcharged and furious with her child being labelled as "terrifying".
“We come almost every weekend and my daughter is nothing but polite and friendly and we’ve never left a mess,” Sze wrote on Facebook, alongside a picture of the receipt.
“She’s never been a terror, never had a meltdown, never caused any problems and the same people working today always comment on how cute and sweet she is.”
Coffee Supreme New Zealand is in damage control mode, saying that the company is "incredibly sorry" about the incident.
“We know you’ve since spoken to Tim, our Food and Beverage manager and know that we’re taking this incredibly serious (sic).
“We’re horrified, to say the least. We want Coffee Supreme Welles Street to be a place for everyone and this sort of behaviour contradicts what we’ve been building.”
The company addressed the incident on its Facebook page, saying it had "made a mistake".
