John Lewis’s coffee shop in Cheadle Royal is a true delight and an endless source of enjoyment.
Popped in from the airport the other day for what goes for a latte in those parts of the world, pay with Visa and get the receipt.
Wait for a slip to sign.
Nothing.
“Don’t I have to sign something?”
“No, the transaction’s gone through” she says.
OK, by me.
Wander off with my coffee and custard tart and hear a faint cry in the background:
“What’s this piece of paper here? Oh dear, I think he has to sign it”
Don’t think so – transaction’s gone through……


>Airport restaurants and stores aren’t part of the chain. They’re outsourced to companies specializing in stores in the airports. …Which still isn’t an excuse…Oh well. You’d think the big companies could pay to have staff trained properly
>Nice!
