Worst Cafe 2007

**MSTRS:Me** · 21st May 2007, 13:10

OK...had a suspicion it was that one...just didn't realise it was licensed, with all the posts about locals at the bar etc.
EDIT - in a case like this, where there is some ambiguity, it pays to be accurate since the 'other' business could suffer through no fault of their own. And we like to be fair, don't we???

Has a cafe part and round the corner there is a dinky little bar. Can't say thatd be my choice of place to spend a friday night.

Plus at at cruel $4 a pop or something they were far too expensive.

Venison is the shizzle. Especially bush venison, just tastes so much nicer than farmed venison.

Someone send me some :-( My source dried up.

Hey Winter,

Well worth popping in to see these fellas - salt of the earth and all that.

MSTRS - see and make sure you look after this wee fella if he's brave enough to stick his head through your door. He's so quiet you can't even hear his bike!

Belay that, apparently the Rangiteiki pub has new owners (or so I'm told), may be worth calling in there instead.

I think you're right, they might have changed the name from Rangitaiki Cafe to the Rangitaiki Lodge & Ranch. I'm just looking for their email address now, help would be appreciated and I will forward them this link.

If he wants the bussiness to be a success however, he must be more retarded than I am. I have a low IQ but I know a thing or two about basic customer service. Its simple (like me

) don't piss the customers off, paying or otherwise.

Pretty sure its a woman owns/runs the place.

I'll just send them a bubble wrapped cat-poo in the mail.

No I was just curious... Ive been in Customer Service, I know how customers should be treated, and I know that if anything can kill a business its word of mouth. I saw it on the web with an email address to contact them, just incase Bubble wanted to mention something to them

And the fact that its friggin disgusting to refuse to let someone use the toilet....

Ok... will get you the address to send your special parcel Toaster
