Mistakes on Menu's

The thing is, there are SO MANY cafes/ tea shops/ eateries in this town, selling the same and usually at lower prices.
I know that independents can't compete with large chains (actually I think Wetherspoons is the only one with national buying power) and I do not begrudge anyone a living. But for me, that's like having surly staff or dirty cutlery. It can so easily be avoided. It's just silly.

I'm tempted, I must admit.
After going into 'Spoons last Sunday week and they couldn't even get toast right.
It's almost like a reverse appeal - if people still eat there even with the inept signage, maybe the food really is good.
