A WA caf\u00e9 owner has made waves online after revealing the bizarre hand-written letter containing a \u2018list of tips\u2019 a customer sent her, with number one being that she \u2018put her t*** away.\u2019<\/p>\n

Casadi Aldridge, 24, opened Espresso Yourself Caf\u00e9 in Donnybrook with her mum Krystal just last month and frequently documented the shop\u2019s transformation on social media, prior to the opening.<\/p>\n

But in her latest video, uploaded to the business\u2019 Instagram page over the weekend, the young caf\u00e9 owner shared the brazen \u2018love letter\u2019 one customer had taken the time to write and pay $1.85 to send her.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe got a letter delivered from the mailman, with a stamp from the Donnybrook post office \u2013 which is literally five doors down \u2013 dropped off at the shop last Tuesday,\u201d Ms Aldridge told PerthNow.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mum actually opened it and ripped it up and put it in the bin because she didn\u2019t want to show me. But when I then came in she told me about it and I said \u2018no get that out of the bin right now I want to read it!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Showcasing the handwritten letter in her video, Ms Aldridge revealed the top eight tips the \u2018thoughtful\u2019 customer had for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cNumber one: put your t*** away,\u201d she read out, pausing briefly to stare at the camera in disbelief.<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cTwo, wear decent length shorts and three, reduce your prices. Number four: no babies or kids in the kitchen. Five, rearrange your tables.<\/p>\n

\u201cSix, you are not an influencer. Seven, get some food into your fridges. Number eight: get a barista.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just thought it was really, really funny. And I\u2019m so glad that I get this love letter sent to me for $1.85 from literally down the street.\u201d<\/p>\n

The young caf\u00e9 owner told PerthNow that she had always wanted to \u201chave her own business\u201d, with her mother getting on board to support her dream when the opportunity arose earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re like best friends so it\u2019s really good to work with her. She had me at a very young age too so we\u2019re very close and love running the caf\u00e9 together,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

Since sharing the video, the WA local says she\u2019s been inundated with hundreds of comments from people in the community and across Australia, hailing Ms Aldridge for taking the situation on her chin.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou go girl!! Stay strong and ignore the haters! It\u2019s not every day I find a 24 year old that has the ambition or drive to own their own business,\u201d one person wrote, with another adding: \u201cI find that so pathetic that someone spent time and money into that letter.\u201d<\/p>\n

A third commented: \u201cIf they think they can do better, they should start their own caf\u00e9 and see how hard it is. As a previous small business owner, I know you are doing a great job for the benefit of your future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A WA caf\u00e9 owner has made waves online after revealing the bizarre hand-written letter containing a \u2018list of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":917896,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[64,63,99,44,5070,12587,45],"class_list":["post-917895","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-business","tag-news","tag-offbeat","tag-small-business","tag-wa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=917895"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917895\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/917896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=917895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=917895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=917895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
