I don't at all want this message to seem nasty or appear to be stirring, I just wish to air my point, and try to ease a situation.
I am sure both ladies at each coffee shop near the station are lovely individuals and each have a side to thier own story...
But, frankly, I feel uncomfortable hearing about thier stories each time I happen to pass the stand/shop or go in to get a coffee. It's getting a bit too malicious as each one vents against the other... to the extent if you're caught in one of the rants you feel you cannot leave, especially as one or the other ends up crying, it's horrible to see and can make an onlooker feel helpless.
Ladies... I understand you both feel hard done by, and each of your stories sound terrible. But your venom for each other will end up losing custom on both sides, it is not dignified to bad mouth.
My post could possibly appear that way, it is not meant to be like that. I just fear the situation has become so volatile, as an outsider I felt the need to suggest maybe you should bury the hatchet and come to some sort of cease fire... by all means hold grudges against one another, but the comments about each other to customers is unprofessional, it is really no way to deal with the situation.
