I went into a cafe that ibe been to regular gor many years . Greek family cafe . Me and my hubby had a roast each which comes with a tea or coffee . I don't drink either so my hubby always has my drink one with his meal amd one after .it's never been a problem amd I order a cold drink. Yesterday tjr manager started shouting at us saying it was cheeky to have the 2 drinks as one should only be for me and one for him .my hubby thought he was joking as he couldn't get round it in his head why he was being funny . He explained we brought 2 drinks and 2 meals it doesnt matter who drinks them . The conversation ended up with a row and hubby said he's not coming in here agsin. I then spoke to the manager who was getting irate with me and I told him it's ridiculous rule and we won't be going there anymore. He was shouting go somewhere else I don't care etc . We have been going there for years and years and had alot of laughs with them . But realised the husband and wife who owned it can get really blunt amd rude sometimes with others . . So for 1 cup of tea they have lost us as customers it's a ridiculous rule do you agree .

The meal was paid. It's ridiculous and I wouldn't go again. No way.

Absolutely ridiculous.

I hope you also left a review of your poor experience on relevant websites.

That's daft!

My Dh has a far bigger appetite than me, so often finishes my meals in a cafe/restaurant if the portions are big. No one has ever said he can't do that.

If the cafe doesn't like people drinking each other's drinks, they shouldn't include them as part of the 'deal'.

You said you weren't going back so why the need for the argument just dont go back

So the manager of a café just randomly started shouting at you about who drank a tea or coffee?

ClarasSisters · 20/10/2025 10:21

Presuming you're paying for the cold drink you have and aren't expecting that as a replacement alongside your dh having 2 hot drinks then they're being OTT. Bit weird to randomly shout at you about it though.

If that is the whole story and he just started kicking off out of nowhere then I reckon there must be something else going on in his life that is totally unrelated to that. Or maybe he is struggling to keep the cafe profitable but that obviously isn’t your fault and he is not being rational.

How utterly ridiculous!

TheMerryJoker · 31/12/2025 17:29

that seems an oddity , that said as long as the drinks are given correctly then in theory it should not matter who drinks what

NormasArse · 03/04/2026 12:02

You paid for an extra drink though? The cold drink?

Who drinks a brew with a roast dinner ??

Some places have bonkers rules. I went somewhere with dh once and didn’t fancy a main so asked for two starters instead….the price of which was slightly more than a main. Waiter went crazy and said the rule was that I had to have a main. We stayed and ate but haven’t been back.
