Two experiences from Yummy's bakery follow, the first of which happened today, the second, a few months ago...
My fiancee went to Yummy's today to split a grilled cheese sandwich with her three-year-old daughter, and the owner tacked a $2.00 "sharing charge" onto the $3.50 sandwich. When my fiancee questioned him about it, he was very rude to her. He ended up kicking her out, in tears.
She's been a customer of the bakery for years, always going there for the family's birthday cakes. Previous employees behind the counter have always been very nice, giving a free cookie or two to whatever kids were in tow. But this guy's attitude was downright angry.
We're not disputing his right to increase the price of the sandwich by over 50% just because she gave her toddler a few bites - he can price things however he wishes! We just were amazed at the rudeness in the way he handled her question, and the way he demanded she leave when she questioned him.
A customer who witnessed the exchange followed my fiancee to her next shopping stop, where she commiserated with her, telling her that SHE'D just been given the same treatment after sticking up for my fiancee after she witnessed his outburst! Not only was the owner rude to her, too, but ordered her elderly mom out of the restaurant as well.
This is just bizarre behavior for a "friendly neighborhood bakery". Needless to say, Yummy's has lost a few customers today!
Previously, when I'd gone in with her and her three children a couple of months ago, I was served a turkey sandwich with sliced meat that was so old as to not just be simply stale, but smell and taste really off. I wouldn't have thought of posting this in a review except for the owner's exceptionally mean and petty behavior today.
