]]> Comment on Coffee at The Cupping Room, Hobart by Matt http://www.onceawaitress.com/2010/04/coffee-at-the-cupping-room-hobart-2/comment-page-1#comment-2698 Matt Fri, 30 Mar 2012 03:00:16 +0000 http://localhost:8888/onceawaitress/?p=9#comment-2698 I visited the place way back in 2010, and the best thing I ordered was a ham & cheese sandwich. The coffee was nothing to write home about. In fact I'd go as far as to say that when we had our own Starbucks in Central Hobart a few years ago, the coffee coming out of that place was some of the best I had ever tasted, and it was consistently very very good. And the baristas at Starbucks Hobart were extremely helpful and friendly. Unlike the experience recalled earlier up this blog, in which the arrogant young upstart waiter/barista at the Cupping Room told the customer "leave and dont come back". I think the arrogant, self-inflating attitude of Carlos, the Cupping Room manager/owner was the reason the Cupping Room failed and was sold. To exhibit such an "I am all great and always right" big man attitude, both in running a business and personally, its little wonder he failed to keep the Cupping Room afloat. You dont go around town telling people you're the best, beating your chest and telling people that their tastebuds are wrong, and your coffee is fantastic, no matter what. If you dont listen to your customers and take their criticisms on board, and continue to arrogantly beat your chest about how good you are, you will fail. And unfortunately so will any business venture you may have. Hobartians are frugal spenders and if they dislike something, they will steer clear of it, and voice dislike of service/product with their feet, in droves.
