Bonjour, Je publie très rarement des avis négatifs. Cependant, nous avons reçu un service horrible ce matin au Café Lali. La propriétaire au comptoir nous a accueilli avec tout sauf un sourire! Nous avons commandé un café & des biscuits & lui avons demandé un petit verre d'eau pour notre bébé. Nous avons eu droit a un soupire en plus de l'entendre chialer a sa collègue a cause dudit verre d'eau... Pas normal de bitcher sur des clients dans leur face c'est la base du service a la clientèle. On est gentils & polis donc je ne comprends l'attitude reçue de la part de la propriétaire... Mon mari a du ouvrir la deuxième porte d'entrée car la poussette de ma fille ne passait pas & ça a semblé l'insulter au plus haut point alors qu'on lui a assuré qu'on ne prenait quun take out (5 min) & qu'on refermerait la porte adéquatement en sortant. Je n'ai jamais été aussi mal servie dans un commerce & je ne crois pas qu'on méritait un tel accueil. C'est dommage le café était bien mais il va sans dire que nous n'y retournerons pas... Allez encourager d'autres commerçants du quartier où vous vous sentirez bienvenus : Chez Maman, Le Trou, L'Amour du Pain, Le Marché Richmond....
