Our last visit was EXTREMELY disappointing. We had purchased a voucher for the store through Wag Jag which Wanda's Pie shop had partnered with. That said the owner of the shop decided on the second last day of the voucher that he would no longer accept them after 6pm (although the shop was still open till 8pm).
Upon arriving at Wanda's Pie in the Sky right at 6pm we found the make shift sign on the door and several people in line being turned away. When we and several others asked to speak to the manager, we were greeted by the owner who instead of trying to find an alternative or at least explain a legitament reason why he was not accepting the vouchers, he instead told us off saying "you had 5 months to use these, so too bad, it's your own fault". We responded that these vouchers were valid for two more days and we specifically waited until now as we wanted to purchase their pies for our New Year’s gathering. He again was VERY rude with us and told us “too bad, take it up with Wag Jag” and refused to refund us or even talk to us further as well as the other customers whom were very upset at his tone and mistreatment.
At this point I politely asked for his business card, which he was about to give me until he asked what I wanted it for; I explained that I wanted to have the correct details before I posted our experience online. Then he exclaimed, "if that's why you want it, then I'm not giving you my card", which appeared very childish as one customer mentioned... I said fine, I'm sure the details I and your other customers have will be sufficient. As I went to leave he then decided that my online posting might be bad for business and actually offered me $40 cash, but only if I promised not to post anything online. When I said, I didn't want his money he offered me free food, but I once again declined as I feel it is more important for people to know the truth about this establishment.
