A HUNGRY diner has left a furious note blasting a caf\u00e9 for not being open for a bacon butty after travelling for five minutes.<\/p>\n
Catherine's near Rochdale opened two hours later than usual on Saturday morning while owner Catherine Laycock went for a flu jab.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Customers were told about the later opening time on Facebook the day before – but one disgruntled bacon butty fan didn't get the message.<\/p>\n
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 caf\u00e9 – they were not impressed.<\/p>\n
In a handwritten note left for the team at Catherine's, all in capital letters, the customer wrote: "It's absolutely disgusting that this caf\u00e9 isn't open on time.<\/p>\n
"I've come all the way from Durnford Close for a bacon butty.<\/p>\n
"Well you can shove it up your a***.<\/p>\n
"I'll go to Wildblood's from now on."<\/p>\n
Catherine shared the note on her caf\u00e9's Facebook page after finding it on her return from the flu jab.<\/p>\n
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 caf\u00e9… flabbergasted."<\/p>\n
After sharing the note online, Catherine's was overwhelmed by heartwarming comments from customers who rallied to the caf\u00e9's support.<\/p>\n
One person wrote: "Omg they seriously need to get over themselves! Rude just rude!"<\/p>\n
Another said: "Anger management needed for this plonker, I do hope they didn't choke on their bacon bap."<\/p>\n
A third customer wrote: "What a sad sack. One customer you must be so glad to be rid of.<\/p>\n
"You do a great job, we love calling in for a coffee. Makes my blood boil the bloody selfishness of some people."<\/p>\n
Another added: "I love how they remembered to bring a pad and paper! But left the patience and manners at home."<\/p>\n
"Still\u2026 if that\u2019s all you\u2019ve got to worry about life must be pretty good," one customer wrote.<\/p>\n
"Heads high, beautiful smiles on your beautiful faces, and carry on with your outstanding food and even more outstanding service," said another.<\/p>\n
"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.<\/p>\n
"And let's face it, one bacon butty is not going to affect your bank account."<\/p>\n
After receiving well wishes from her customers, Catherine thanked them for their warm words.<\/p>\n
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."<\/p>\n
