I'm joining my third queue of the day at the John Lewis cafe at Cheadle Royal and my patience is wearing a little thin.
I've asked for cheese and tomato pasta for my three year old at the hot food counter, only to be told after several staff discussions, that it's "out of stock".
"Ok, I'll have the chicken goujons then?" "Out of stock" as well I'm told. They suggest I buy an Ella's Kitchen pouch instead (for a three year old!) or buy a child toastie.
