"I cannot believe the service I had last night. I am a regular customer to Cornershop and usually enjoy my night. I have recommended this place to so many people, including my cousin who I was out with yesterday. We were having a good time, waiting to order drinks at the bar, and the bar man moves a no service sign right by us so that we no longer are receiving bar service. Now bare in mind we having been ordering drinks from here all night, and for this particular round we had been waiting for a while. So, I moved the sign back to where it was originally a little bit to the right). All of a sudden, we were kicked out of the club by the apparent owner. While outside, I asked to speak with the manager/owner the guy that kicked us out), however, all I got in response was rudeness and dismissal. I wanted to talk with him not argue) as I believed it was a minor misunderstanding. One security guard told me that the manager is coming, while the other told me he is not coming. While we were visibly upset, the security just laughed at us, ignored us and let their male friends through. As a consumer who has paid for entry drinks) I hold the right to speak to a manager, but my complaint was not handled correctly at all. As a result, this is how my night continued: As two young ladies we couldn 't get home since being kicked out unfairly, we didn 't know where we were). I lost my phone as I was so angry and we ended up basically hitch-hiking from a stranger and got home at 6am. The bottom line is that I am a regular at Cornershop and have never had such unfair service EVER. They seemed to not take us seriously because we were young women. All I wanted was my money back and some simple decency, but this is apparently too much to ask for from here."
