Springfield Store & Cafe

[Mr Nice Guy]

This is one of many outrageous reviews this place has gotten over the past year 



We stopped in to grab a takeaway coffee the other day. What unfolded left me absolutely flabbergasted. I have never been spoken to the way the owner and his wife spoke to me.

After politely questioning the price of a regular coffee being $4.30, the owner proceeded to berate me for “complaining and whinging”. I waited outside the store for my coffees and when I came back in, he called his wife over, pointed at me and immediately in front of me said “That’s the one with the big mouth”.

I turned and asked “What?” At which point the situation deteriorated and I was called, among other things, “a f#*&ing fat sl*t”, “a stupid b*&ch”, over and over by him and his wife, and they stood together behind the counter yelling at me. They then threw my money back at me over the counter and told me to “f*&#ing get out of their f#*%ing shop.”

I was horrified, mortified. I left in tears and was very upset about it for quite some time. I am a totally non-confrontational person and was definitely not rude at all. I feel somewhat reassured to see that it wasn’t just me, although disgusted that somebody, let alone somebody in the service industry, should be so rude.

Do not visit this store/cafe.

read the 'filtered' reviews:

"Verbally abused by owners. While ordering, half way through the order i asked to add more to the order since we haddent finished ordering our meal. Suddenly got abused by the CRAZY WOMAN/HAG of a co-owner accusing my family and me that we are selfish people for trying to order more food… Then the INBREED psycho male co-owner told my family and me to “shut your mouth and stop complaining” then followed up by a “shoo get out of my shop you horrible people shooo shoooo shoooo” These people have clearly escaped a mental asylum and should not be approached, or approach at your own risk. Deliverance has nothing on these hillbillies…"

I'm thinking of going tomorrow 

[Weevilgenius]

Take them a hard copy of their reviews     

[Mr Nice Guy]

Looks like the one of them at least is written by them, one of the only two out of 25  



Someone like Jono and Ben should do a segment on them


Or f**king Dr Phil  

[Weevilgenius]

I think it's more a job for Jerry Springer if he was still doing his show...

Incidentally, I saw "Jerry Springer The Opera" about 10 years ago in London 

[Lux]

it's a wonder they're still in business.

[Mr Nice Guy]

So that was s**t, they had two young girly's on the front counter, polite and charming both. Then some hideous screaming banshee b***h looking like a hard arsed unkempt Ellen Degeneres woman in a red Swandri covered in dog or cat hair appears and screeches someone's order out for them. Feral as f**k and it was easy to see that she is very capable of the actions described in the reviews. She exudes a confrontational vibe 

[Lux]

I'm disappointed I thought you'd make the hard arsed one cry. 

You'll be going back then? 

[Mr Nice Guy]

Nope 

The cat hair all over her was enough to make me queasy, I pulled apart the burger I bought in the car looking for f**king foreign stuff 

[Lux]

So full of it man, you could have done your good deed for the year and ripped her voice box out. 

[Mr Nice Guy]

I had to have a laugh, she reminded me of my own mum, she has the same type of nature. 

[Weevilgenius]

evil furball with woman parts and a s**tty bleach-job? 

[Mr Nice Guy]

Yeah, s**tty short dyke haircut, bad streaks 

[Mr Nice Guy]

It took 30mins just for a bacon egg burger, it was busy but that's still a long time for a bloody burger, all the food you'd normally find in the hot cabinets was non existent, just empty cabinets so you had to order stuff from the kitchen. No pies, no sandwiches, no scones, no muffins anywhere 

[Weevilgenius]

probably had to defrost and nuke everything. 

[Lux]

So why didn't you take on the owner, ya pussy, instead it's all online warrior, eh. Bah humbug! 

[Weevilgenius]

It was his Mum

[Mr Nice Guy]

I wasn't going there to start something, just to see if something happened
