Dude From Country Bagel Needs An Attitude Adjustment. Chester County.



Dear Short Dude From Country Bagel (West Chester and Exton Locations),

I'm pretty sure you're one of the co-owners but not positive. Let me just tell you how a business should work. If you price your egg and cheese bagels at 99 cents* then you are asking the public to buy it at that price. Asking me if I want anything else then saying, "Nothing?...Are you sure?" two or three times is tacky.

Then you look mad because I don't buy anything else. The sign doesn't say, "99 cent egg and cheese bagel with purchase of OJ or coffee." You don't then shove the bag at me when it's ready and say nothing with a pissed off look on your face. You've done this to me at least 15 times.


So I need you to take a week off and do some self reflection. Are we clear?

*actually raised to $1.29 a bit ago.

There's not a whole lot worse than an owner being a dick. I'd say something, even if only half -jokingly. I mean, how DARE you give him fucking money!

The best way to run a business, and stay in business, is to include a little something extra. It's called lanape, and it makes the customers feel appreciated. Most business owners today don't know the *ss from a hole in the ground.

Wait, you didn't fall for the upsell and he got pissed? How dare you!

Tired of the "up-sell" over here as well!

Yup. The ole' aggressive upsell.

It may be only a buck, but it's a buck you could have spent somewhere else.

Kelly - you got that right!
