What! No more espresso machine after MEL Dom J lounge upgrade???

Hopefully working better then when I tried it pre-COVID. Ordered before entering the lounge, waited, waited, waited … When I enquired of the barista as to when I might receive my order he smiled and replied “Oh, we’re too busy to check the app” 😂🤪

Where was this? I never had an issue pre-ordering at MEL or BNE J lounges pre-COVID.

Regards,

BD

Update. This week. Thought I'd try the app again. Opened it as I entered the terminal at SYD and Lounge location was "Closed". Hmm. Asked at the Lounge entry desk. Nice staff member said she too wanted to know, perhaps the location had been selectively turned off. Seems it had. Because the main coffee machine was broken!! Big queue at the secondary location and if the end product was any indication, I think there was a problem with that machine too 🤣
 
In the Perth biz lounge now, Skip app showing both Perth lounges as ‘Closed’. No issue ordering from the barista direct though.

Maybe just a one off glitch? I’m not flying as much at the moment so can’t say for sure.
