In the past few days, the reaction of a barista and coffee lover who went to the newly opened business of Zuzana Plačková in Donovaly has flown through social networks. The final sum for the three drinks he ordered was particularly eye-catching. “We all know that Donovaly is not a place for price-sensitive people, but we were still surprised. In the cafe of influencer Zuzana Plačková, we left €17.90 for these three drinks in paper cups. This is the new Slovak Aspen,” he stated on Instagram.

And despite the fact that the matcha latte was the most expensive, it was also the most disgusting. It had a kind of plaster foam that didn’t and didn’t fall apart,” he posted his opinion on the social network.
It didn’t take long and Plačková herself volunteered to speak. “Every time I open a new coffee shop, there is always, always, always a review. And never a good one,” said the influencer at the beginning of the video, saying that people who don’t like her want to make money on her. She expected that many more followers would send her a review, but only two and also family members alerted her.
“This very mysterious person came in, ordered coffees, matcha and complained about the price. It’s on a hillside, so obviously it’s going to be a bit more expensive. I came to Donovaly with my Bratislava drink ticket, the same one I have everywhere, and I had to change it, because there is such a policy that you have to have the same prices as the other bars there,” explained Plačková.
“You can’t undercut those prices. It always has to be around that much. So I threw the 100 drink tickets I had brought into the trash and had to have new ones made. So about that much for the price. Always on those slopes, go to the Tatras, go somewhere else too, prices are always higher. It’s completely normal. Just as the prices in shopping centers are higher than in regular pubs, that is always a given. I won’t do anything about it,” she added in her statement.
The popular influencer is said to completely understand the negative reactions, as, according to her, this is how people collect likes. “When you can’t be interesting in any other way and you can only be interesting by treating other people and doing other people harm, or how should I say it, and slandering them. After all, what is your value as a person? None. Because you only spread negative energy,” she said.
„Even so, I expected that there would be haters under the review, but people were right. He complained about the price, and people were right, that these are normal regular prices. Everything is expensive these days” emphasized Plačková in the video, which you can watch at the beginning of the article.
She sent a sharp message to the author of the review. “Try opening a cafe. And mostly those who hate it, have nothing, have never tried anything, never opened anything. And that’s how they’ll pin the most. Try it, do it yourself. Open 5 cafes and manage it. And whether it will be tip-top everything without a mistake. Because this is on a stick. I’ll tell you, like… If anyone thinks it’s easy, try it. Open 2-3. Because it’s easiest to hate, but try it” she stated.
