Thumbs down for Lenox Coffee Shop

[mjoyous]

I called this morning to ask if they could hold two cinnamon rose pastries for me Sunday morning, explaining I lived over the mountain in NY, and wanted them for a friends birthday.
The response was a terse "we don't do that, you need to have the manager approve." When I asked for the manager, she said he was not in.
When I asked when he would be available, she said he was on vacation. I then had to ask when he would return, and was told next week.
I found it about the rudest I have been treated in ages. As the b.day gal is at home caring for her husband who is just home from surgery, I will drive the extra distance and go down to Cakewalk in Lee, where the pastry is made, and where I've always been treated kindly and respectfully.

Why not try calling the new Patisserie in Lenox? They are lovely and very accomodating, and their stuff is delicious!

Thanks guys. I like the Patisserie too, but the b.day friend is jonesing for a cinnamon rose. BTW, called Cakewalk this morning to ask them to hold a few for me, and, as expected, they were very gracious.
