Apparently a cafe in an alternative lifestyle/ touristy town in the Northern Rivers, NSW back country doesn’t want mine anyway!
My wife and I walked into this busy cafe just a few minutes after 2 on a lovely spring afternoon to be greeted with a very welcoming…
“What do you want?”
“Err”, we responded rather uncertainly, “We were hoping to get a coffee and a piece of cake.“
“Didn’t you see the sign on the door?“ we were asked rather belligerently.
“No!”
“It says ‘Closed’!” was the somewhat surly response as the man turned on his heels and left.

Dumbfounded my wife and I pocketed our money and left vowing to tell everyone and never return.
Obviously they don’t want the business. It would have been simple to offer us something and taken our money with relish but maybe they are doing far too well and the bank manager has told them to slow down.
If you’re in business, remember that wonderful lesson from the movie Jerry Maguire:
Greetings from the Dudon e,
we have just returned from Morocco, Spain and Portugal.
At no time were we discouraged, told NO! or go away. In fact, anytime we were in need or advice it was done with a smile and a question; where you from? Australia. And more smiles.
That’s wonderful! Look forward to catch up before Christmas.
