oday I spent an hour in this cafe having cake with my overtired 14 month old while waiting to be picked up from town by my husband. At first my toddler sat in the Highchair but he started getting bored, so I put him down and he wanted to wheel his pram round and round in circles. There was nobody in the cafe at this point so he did that for about half an hour, with me helping him steer the pram around tables the whole time. As soon as some customers came in I then moved the pram back to our table out of their way. The customers then left and my son was toddling around. I stayed close behind him so when he tried to get to anywhere he shouldn't go, I steered him away. The cafe had an adjoining art gallery with expensive looking glass frames at toddler level inside, and the glass door was open and he of course ran straight through to the art gallery, so I went in and picked him up and took him back through the door to the cafe, closing the door behind me. Next thing I know a surly woman had barked at me from behind the counter "No shutting the door!" I explained that my son was running into the art gallery and I don't want him in there breaking expensive stuff and her reply was "Well you shouldn't let him run around really should you!" ..... First of all, uh, WHAT? You do realise I own a child not a robot, right? He doesn't have an off switch, trust me I've checked! Second of all... I cannot stop my toddler wanting to run around, what am I to do, keep him in a death grip?! I can totally understand if I was just letting him run amok but I was following behind him everywhere, my bloody back aches! There were also no customers at all (possibly due to the friendly service..) so I wasn't in anyone's way. Just really rude and unnecessary. Won't be back which isn't a big loss as it's just an average cafe. I have to say the young guy working there was really friendly however. read more
