| - Out of 200 reviews, I've written only 14 1 star reviews. that's .07%. That means I never really write 1 star reviews. La Prima Espresso in the Strip District gets one. :(
They've got a good coffee but I will never be back, bc the older woman who is the barista in the morning was unforgivably rude, without reason.
The coffee is good, I would have liked to become a regular, but I dont want to start every morning dealing with her nasty attitude. Yesterday she rolled her eyes at me when I asked for lots of room for cream.
I am a former barista. I *know* asking for room for cream is not one of the more difficult special requests she gets! If you hate the public, you shouldn't work with them.
This morning takes the cake, and I just won't be back. Here's what happened:
I walked in, and she was talking to a gentleman who was obviously a regular. Because she was busy and bc I've barista'd myself, I waited patiently.
And waited and waited. It was a few minutes, but an eternity when you really need coffee!
She never even looked at me. Then all of a sudden she goes, "Okay lady are you going to stand there or do you want coffee?"
WTF. I liked her sense of urgency, but seriously? Rude.
I asked for a medium coffee in a large cup, or if that's not possible, a medium coffee with lots of room.
Not hearing me, she goes, "What was that?" and the older gentleman said, "She wants a medium sized coffee in a large cup." And the woman turns to me and snaps, "And you couldn't repeat that yourself?"
Even the guy she was talking to, her regular, was like, "Whoa." He tried to make some excuse for her, like, "She's just fired up today!" Then the woman slams my coffee down on the counter.
Was she having a bad day? Am I the doppleganger of someone she hates? I dont know, I don't care. I believe she may be the owner because surely she should have been fired by now, as there are other posts with complaints about her.
"Do not go here during the week if you expect them to open on time. I was there today and it was 615am and there was no employees at all. Managed very poorly. The older lady with a short hair cut is the one who doesn't open on time when she is scheduled. Please move this lady to a different time. 6am is too early for her."
I won't ever be back. If that's just her spunky personality, well, her personality sucks.
Seriously lady, you're not a morning person. You should ask for later shifts.
