My knitting group has been asked by Beanscene not to come back due to “disruptive” behaviour!
Let me just repeat that: my knitting group has been asked by Beanscene not to come back due to “disruptive” behaviour. So, spending around £7-10 per head, sitting around a table and knitting for 90 minutes every other Tuesday can now land you with an ASBOS. Amazing.
Seeing as Beanscene has quite recently had financial problems I thought having repeat customers in an otherwise quiet café would have been a Good Thing, but obviously I know nothing about business strategies or customer service.
Addendum: photo and styling by my partner who is slightly gobsmacked by also amused by the idea of knitters getting ASBOS.







HAH!!! I knew it! Your knitting group was just a front for your revolutionary and disruptive agenda! (But seriously, banning a knitting group … that has to be some of the saddest behaviour I have heard in a long time.)
And in Glasgow? Are you kidding me?
@DK: I used to be a Perky Goth and now I’m a Rebel Knitter? I contain multitudes.. to quote Walt Whitman..
@Bonnie: I know!
Yeah, my knit group was kicked out of a cafe for the same reason. Also, they said that we were scaring the other cistomers away!!!
