State Fayre Bakery & Coffee Shop

State Fayre's business model is basically "ignore the customer, stare at your phone and never, EVER say "hello", "please" or "thank you". The first time, I assumed they're having a bad day because no-one is usually that needlessly rude, gave them benefit of the doubt and wrongly assumed they'd be less aloof/rude next time. Big mistake! They are consistently abrasive, rude, and mannerless in how they speak to customers and it honestly felt like I'd been grifted when I'd made the mistake of purchasing anything here; it seems verboten for them to be friendly, welcoming and kind to customers. Marc Cooper or Brackman's in Prestwich are much better with lovely friendly staff and really nice food. State Fayre's prices have pretty much doubled in the last couple of years as well, which although understandable in the economic climate, doesn't make it any more appealing when paired with the mandatory side order of bad-attitude. Zero stars isn't an option, so they get one for the dubious achievement of managing to remain operational as a business whilst maintaining such consistently dreadful customer service.
