Hmm... where to start. Farm areas were fun w machinery and fun stuff all over. Kid friendly. Enjoyed that. Picked raspberries. Pretty good. Fun out in the fields picking. But, it was fairly expensive. Uh, 4.3lbs and almost $30? What? Bigger more ripe berries and cheaper price can be had at Fred Meyer. Strawberries were sparse.
Got a coffee at their shack. Took 10 minutes to make one latte w an extra shot. Inexperience. Sigh. Waiting! C'mon baristas!
BUT, the worst part of the whole thing and what ruined the day was the mature "employee" (*generic description to meet Yelp guidelines) that checked us out inside the barn for the berries. Wow! Horrible, horrible "employee." Why? Just Coarse. Surly as all get out. "Employee" was short with the people in front of us. Uh oh, didn't look good. Seemed annoyed w them. Then it was our turn. Condescention, and a micro-manager type barking orders on how to check out using a debit card. "We def know how to use our card." It was comical, but sad. 100% total impudence and discourteous from this mature patriarch"employee." She was confused on how to operate the register, and cancelled the tranaction after our card was approved. Actually approved twice, but she kept pushing the wrong register button and nixing the transaction 2X, but somehow this was our fault? She became really insolent (the attitude and negativity was oozing off her) when I asked her to push the sale button only 1X. Just a really uncivil and ill-mannered person that should not be dealing with customers. It was hard not to laugh at the truly horrible behavior. It was that nasty.
As a business owner myself w 29 employees, I understand the importance of the up front people that are "the face and voice of the retail business." Customers are giving up there hard earned money. Why have someone in front of house being impertinent, disrespectful, and making customers feel dissatisfied when they themselves are totally incompetent, inept, and unfriendly?
Because of this negative experience w the "employee", I will not go back and patronize this business just on general principle. Nope. Put young, smiley, positive, nicer female employees up front to handle the public.
