A HUNGRY diner has left a furious note blasting a café for not being open for a bacon butty after travelling for five minutes.
Catherine's near Rochdale opened two hours later than usual on Saturday morning while owner Catherine Laycock went for a flu jab.
Customers were told about the later opening time on Facebook the day before – but one disgruntled bacon butty fan didn't get the message.
And after walking to Catherine's for a breakfast treat from their Durnford Close home – just a quarter of a mile away from the Edenfield Road café – they were not impressed.
In a handwritten note left for the team at Catherine's, all in capital letters, the customer wrote: "It's absolutely disgusting that this café isn't open on time.
"I've come all the way from Durnford Close for a bacon butty.
"Well you can shove it up your a***.
"I'll go to Wildblood's from now on."
Catherine shared the note on her café's Facebook page after finding it on her return from the flu jab.
On the Facebook post, she wrote: "All safely jabbed for flu… one little prick at 10am and received this from another on arrival to the café… flabbergasted."
After sharing the note online, Catherine's was overwhelmed by heartwarming comments from customers who rallied to the café's support.
One person wrote: "Omg they seriously need to get over themselves! Rude just rude!"
Another said: "Anger management needed for this plonker, I do hope they didn't choke on their bacon bap."
A third customer wrote: "What a sad sack. One customer you must be so glad to be rid of.
"You do a great job, we love calling in for a coffee. Makes my blood boil the bloody selfishness of some people."
Another added: "I love how they remembered to bring a pad and paper! But left the patience and manners at home."
"Still… if that’s all you’ve got to worry about life must be pretty good," one customer wrote.
"Heads high, beautiful smiles on your beautiful faces, and carry on with your outstanding food and even more outstanding service," said another.
"Small, inconsequential, little people like these do not matter. At least you are safer now, not only for yourself, but for your loyal, happy customers.
"And let's face it, one bacon butty is not going to affect your bank account."
After receiving well wishes from her customers, Catherine thanked them for their warm words.
In a later Facebook post on Saturday evening, she wrote: "I'm a half full glass kind of girl, thank you for your love and support and if I can turn this bad press around I will."
