 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to play bingo and brought my own vegetables and hummus due to my dietary choices. I understand that food sales help support their programs, and I did make a purchase by buying a coffee.

Unfortunately, the food options available don’t align with how I eat (I don’t eat bread or sugar). I brought my own food so I could still participate while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Being called out over the loudspeaker about bringing outside food was embarrassing and unnecessary, as it drew attention from the entire room. I wish this had been handled more discreetly
