Staff were very rude. I went in 13.8.26 at 5pm and was given my coffee, however the straws were tiny?? We asked for bigger straws or flat lids but there were none. After asking the male worker, he was very rude and sarcastic. While leaving we could tell the 2 staff members were speaking about me and my sisters who are minors!! as we were hit with a sarcastic “bye“ while we were leaving and strange looks. ——— to the other branches this ——— ——— is very strange as the workers today acted very unprofessional and rude for no reason at all.

Thanks for coming in. The straw question is straightforward — if we don't have what someone needs, the right answer is a straight "sorry, we're out" and nothing more. ——— at the counter isn't something we'd expect from any member of the team, and the same goes for how customers are seen off at the door.
