Tagaytay Café Halted Ops for a Day After "Disrespectful Behavior" From Guests

(SPOT.ph) Though it's the job of restaurant staff to serve their customers, basic human decency remains especially important when interacting with them. We're all human at the end of the day after all. Kindness, of course, goes a long way in all of this—a point that Tagaytay's Hello Café reminds its customers about given recent happenings in the establishment.

Tagaytay cafe Hello Café reminds us to be mindful of how we treat their staff:

Hello Café posted a "gentle reminder" on their Facebook page on April 25, sharing how they'd received reports of "disrespectful behavior" towards their staff in the past days. "We take this issue seriously and wish to remind all customers that mistreatment or abuse towards our employees will not be tolerated," they write. The dining spot emphasizes their goal of balancing the "needs of our employees and our customers," and taking a "strong stand against rude and unruly behavior, regardless of the situation."

"At Hello Café, we value our employees as integral team members and hold them in the highest regard," the post reads. "Our goal is to nourish and develop both their personal and professional lives."

The café—which is best known for their brews and aesthetic views—also suspended operations yesterday, April 26, to allow their team to "breathe and rest." "We definitely owe them a break," they write in the post's caption.

"Insults, provocation, profanity, and aggressive display of behavior are and will never be acceptable."
