I have taken my 2 year old daughter to Old Towne Bakery twice in the past couple of months following doctor's visits thinking it would be a nice little treat for her.\r
\r
The first time we visited, the workers were chatting amongst themselves and it took forever to get someone to wait on us. When someone finally came out to help, they looked like they had better things to do than to be bothered with a walk-in customer.\r
\r
Last week we went back to choose a post-doctor treat. This time, someone came right out and actually halfway paid attention to us, but I still got the sense that she would rather be in the back than waiting on someone who only made a $5 purchase. \r
\r
My daughter is very well behaved, but she IS 2 and as I was paying, she went over and started to pick up a 6 pack of cupcakes. I was standing right there and immediately caught her and corrected her and the woman who was waiting on us said, "" Yeah, you better put that back because if you open it, your mom will have to pay for it.""\r
\r
Maybe I am overreacting, but I find that to be EXTREMELY rude. It would have been uncalled for, anyway but especially considering that I was already handling the apparent crisis and not just ignoring my child.\r
\r
Poor customer service has definitely put me off this place for good.
