Their cakes and cookies are delicious. The displays are lovely. The only issue I have with this…read moreplace is that they are very rude. I've been there twice in a few years. Both times they act like they don't really want to sell items. Yesterday the woman said the credit card machine didn't work. "No Visa." I said I had a debit. "No!" I said I could use American Express. She said, no. At this point in time I was confused about if the machine work or not and I was confused about why they had a machine out for everyone to see if they didn't take cards. I was about to hand back the food when she relented "fine. You can use it if you spend 10 euros." There were no signs about this either.

THEY EARN (!) MONEY THANKS TO EURO 2024 WITHOUT GIVING ANY RECEIPT!…read moreOn the 26th of June, Vapiano in Göttingen displayed the CZE-TUR football match streamed on the public channel ARD. I stopped by to see my friends, who had already ordered their food and drinks. Since I had just finished a workout, I didn't want to consume any sugary drinks or food and didn't order anything. When the first half ended, I tried to leave, but the employees wouldn't let me. When they realized I didn't speak German well, AN EMPLOYEE AT THE DOOR YELLED ME AND TREATED ME VERY POORLY, HUMILIATING ME IN FRONT OF THE CROWD. I asked my friends if I needed to pay to watch the match (which I left during the half time), and they said there was no such thing. Despite explaining to the cashier that I hadn't eaten or drunk anything, SHE INSISTED I HAD TO PAY 5 EUROS. The match was on a public channel, so this made no sense, but THEY FORCED ME TO PAY AND ONLY GAVE ME A PIECE OF PAPER WITH "BEZAHLT" WRITTEN ON IT, REFUSING TO PROVIDE A PROPER RECEIPT. As I left, I told the man at the door that his behavior was rude and unacceptable. HE YELLED AT ME AGAIN. I got really angry knowing THEY GAINED MONEY FROM ME THAT WOULDN'T BE TAXED.
