Sydney Fine Food Company Cafe

It is a shame that the people who run this cafe have such a fundamental misunderstanding of service because the coffee is pretty good and my girlfriend and I live a block away. For a time now (because I have been recovering from surgery) I have been going there almost every day for a coffee and a sandwich (sometimes a juice too) because I am working from home. I always forget to bring my loyalty stamp card ... don't we all? And I noticed that they have space next to their cash register where some customers have their cards pinned up. When I asked if mine could be put up, the response from the young woman was "No. We're running out of room." Really?! Not: "we're out of room" which would probably have still been a bit off-putting, but "running out" ... like there were future customers who she could predict would be more important that me and my girlfriend. The response to the "problem" of having too many loyal customers who want to leave their cards with you due to their constantly spending money at your establishment is to find a place where there is MORE room, not reject people who provide you your business. This particular young woman has been rather rude throughout my entire experiences at the cafe (and there have been many) but this was the last straw. I would encourage everyone to patronise any of the other wonderful cafes in the area instead of supporting these people (Bitton and Ragland are probably the very best but there are many) and please excuse the fact that you might see this review duplicated on other "review" websites as I will be posting it to all that are available.
