A diner near St Austell has called out on customers to be kind to its staff members after one of them received verbal abuse from a customer this weekend.

Sam's Diner in Par have made a plea on social media yesterday (December 3rd) after an incident where a woman had a go at one of their employees. They say anyone who is abusive towards their staff members will be banned from the restaurant.

"We will not tolerate our staff being talked down to"

In a statement on social media yesterday (December 3rd), they wrote: "We will not tolerate our staff being verbally abused. It's sad and disappointing that we have to write a post like this.

"After an excellent service today at The Diner, a grown woman thought she would have a go at a member of staff, this isn't acceptable and won't be tolerated. Most of the staff at The Diner are young, they are hard working, always with a smile on their face, AND WE ARE PROUD OF EVERY SINGLE STAFF MEMBER!

"We will not tolerate our staff being talked down to, and made to feel rubbish, cursed at, and won't accept unkind gestures.

"You will be banned as our staff deserve better"

"Old and new customers make our day, and we now have so many returning visitors or should I say friends, all greeted with the same smile, the warm welcome, the love everytime you walk through the door.

"Your Sam's experience is important to us, and we will not allow one grown up woman to get us down as we are THE SAM'S TEAM".
