Cese Market (Near Oykun Hotel)

[Scunner]

Well maybe Supacabby is the best person to answer that. I certainly wouldn't like to be called arrogant though, so I don't think I have missed any point...

We use CES and have always had super service from Ramazan and his nephew. Being called Darling doesn't bother me as I get called all sorts of endearments in the markets.Our logs, water ect are always brought to the house/garden never found him creepy just friendly.

[Supacabby]

My visit was as a direct result of reading about the Ces market here on CBF (having collected a price list some time ago when passing) + due to the fact they offer a delivery service as I'm not bothering with a car for this trip + I need a new water bottle sometime soon + being at the cashpoint jogged my memory. I pass 2 markets between my home & town almost daily (those between Bim & Azda), have yet to venture into either of them.

Scunner & Jacqui took my post the way it was intended, my own personal research to gauge the service level offered. You didn't see me disagreeing with Jacqui, she had her own experience & wrote about it accordingly, I did not try to change anyones mind, simply offered my experience of the shop.

Toky: You used the word arrogance, I took that as a personal attack. If you feel my post contained arrogance, or that I am an arrogant person after writing about a personal experience, you are entitled to that opinion, you did not see me launching a personal attack in return, that is not my nature.

Highlander: Bostans serves lovely coffee, Carol, Recep, Billy & the other staff there are all very nice, the exception being the guy behind the bar who whilst always being polite has been a little "sullen" at times but I think that's him in general & nothing personal to me. In fact I am going to Bostans tonight for their wild boar roast evening after being invited by Carol last week.

Highlander: I showed him the topic from CBF because:- It was how I was 1st made aware of this market (thanks CBF for helping as normal with my research), when I went to pay for my goods his laptop was on Fethiye Trip Advisors page which started a conversation about forums (I'm a user there also as Frances-Jayne/Jacqui knows) so I showed him the CBF homepage, did a search for Ces Market which brought up this topic page then explained the good & bad comments he had received. Had I been met with disdain & arrogance then I would have reported this back to the forum accordingly.

I always mention CBF if that is where I 1st hear about an establishment I visit, my conversations with the owners of The Winehouse/Bati Cafe/Meeting Point etc. etc. all included mention of CBF. I think this has a positive benefit for the forum users in general (might even help to keep standards up if the owners know they are being read about by so many on here) & surely we are all here to learn about/discuss/enjoy the wonderful area that is Calis & surrounding districts, if not why bother to log on in the 1st place? I've said it before & happy to repeat it, CBF has been invaluable to me in being a tool of my research, without CBF (& my wonderful Calis resident friend Janet who I've known for 6 years) I doubt very much if I would have been enjoying my 8 month trip in this region, it may well have been my other option of Poros in the Greek islands.

Scunner: May I ask this please Keith. I use the search facility to try to stop making new topics about anything I can add to the forum, normally using the 1st topic that contains anything relevant to my post or 1 with a suitable heading, is this correct or should I start a new topic every time I wish to add an experience such as this? The search facility is encouraged by you & I thought forum etiquette was not to flood the system with lots of topics about the same subjects, please enlighten me if I'm wrong with this.

Edited due to typo.

Sometimes its just helpful to point things out to establishments, for example on Thursday I witnessed Supercabby nicely telling staff at Bati bar that the cappuccino was very weak, they checked machine and it wasn't set up right.
Once sorted the cappuccino was very good.
Well done for handling it like you did, I like many others, just wouldnt have had coffee there again and they would have lost out!

I used Ces market when I first moved here and was always happy with their service - usually for water or firewood.  I now use the guy who services my scooter for the water - just because he knows me well and brings it quickly and is a bit closer than Ces and again with the wood - I now use a man in Tasyaka - who is cheaper.  Nothing wrong with the service or the staff in Ces I have just found other places that provide what I want quicker and cheaper.

[Toky]

Supercabby, your explanation of how you came about showing the guy this topic is much clearer now. My original post stated that I couldn't imagine the scenario of how you got from going there to check out the service, to this. You've explained that now.
If you felt "attacked" I apologise, it's not my nature, but my vision (without knowing the full circumstances) was that of an act of arrogance and nothing to do with the purpose of your visit to the shop. I retract that as it was offensive to you, and I do enjoy your postings (honest lol)

As every one else has said everyone is entitled to their own opinion, where they want to shop eat etc.
Mark I applaud you for doing this and that is not because I am "a fan of this shop". I too often mention the forum during my trips to Calis in many establishments, as I am often on my own I find it is often a good way to strike up conversation with bar owners shop owners etc people in general.
I think it is a good thing the brother's were shown this thread as they have said they had no idea calling people darling could be upsetting to some people and are genuinely upset, surely it can only be a good thing that they have a chance to put things right and learn from it.
As I said before my experience with them has always been very positive and they have been nothing but kind welcoming and helpful to me and my family

Posts should be made where the writer thinks is the right place - if the topic is still relevant (perhaps not current) then there is no reason not to post in it. Where it gets silly is people replying to a post from years ago where the entire situation has changed nowadays and the point added is therefore totally irrelevant to the original topic. Not as silly as people posting in the banks forum asking how hot it will be in October of course.

Well done Mark for pointing out to these guys what an inconsistant service can do to their buisness,once these critism on this forum have been pointed out i will bet it wont be tried again.
  Seven years ago whilst having a drink with Scunner iwas overcharged for drinks(again ) ,Scunner nicely pointed out the error of his ways and he appologised,if he hadnt would so many of you thought that  Theo and the bus stop was so good ?

Toky: Apology accepted, next time I will make sure I post the conversation in full, just don't tell Keith as he pays for the bandwidth!

Kayakebab: Perfect example of how a polite request can inform a host there is something wrong & the 2nd coffee served in the correct manner was spot on, thank you for your kind words. (Bet he checks the coffee machine on a regular basis now, frothy water isn't that nice lol).

Scunner: Thanks for confirming my original thoughts, please feel free to tell me if my etiquette on CBF isn't as expected, it is not my nature to upset anyone, life is too short for that!
