I don't normally leave bad reviews. Normally everything at Gail's is very good but recently I got a Chai latte to go. When I got it back to work I realised it was only a 2 thirds full. Not good cons... See more

I don't normally leave bad reviews

I don't normally leave bad reviews. Normally everything at Gail's is very good but recently I got a Chai latte to go. When I got it back to work I realised it was only a 2 thirds full. Not good considering the prices.
Then today I thought I'd treat myself to a sandwich. Oh how wrong I chose. Got the new pastrami one. It was totally herendous. The meat is so tough and fatty I could not bite through it. Come on Gail's you can do so much better. Very poor quality.
Ended up eating the sauerkraut on the bread!!!

No food cover

The cakes and other food are displayed in front of the queuing customers with no real protective cover. Anything coming out of the customers’ mouths falls onto the food. Because of this I asked twice for a pastry from the back stand but was still given one from the front. Need to pay attention to basic hygiene
