I was waiting quite a while to be served eventhough there was no one in front of me and no one after me. The person making the coffees was flat out, the person serving was wandering around looking for something for a delivery order, but instead of serving me first, or even saying that they'll be with me as soon as possible, they just carried on without acknowledging I was there.
Eventually the person making the drinks asked me what I would like so they could start making them for me. They seemed embarrased that i had been ignored. After my wait, the person serving finally apologised for the wait.
My free drink was used from my app without asking if I wanted to use it, which I wouldn't have had I been asked as I didn't make an order which was making the best value of my free drink. But by this time I just wanted to sit down and enjoy my drink and didn't want the bother of saying.
The delivery orders seemed to be busy, maybe they needed someone dedicated to fulfilling those and the other 2 serving the customers and making the drinks.
Once we had our drinks, they were well made.
This Costa has recently been refurbished, but sadly the toilets still struggle to be hygienic; and 4 staff manning the counter, but it's the 2nd time in a month my order has been forgotten. Not doing the Costa brand any favors 😏
If Costa aren't going to employ enough staff then they just won't get my custom. I don't mind waiting if it's busy but I really object to having to wait because Costa won't employ enough staff, that tells me that Costa's profits are more important than customers, I won't be back anytime soon.
