(CNN) - The owner of an Iowa cafe which Mitt Romney visited on Friday say the Republican presidential candidate's staff were "arrogant" and disrespectful to her establishment, CNN affiliate KPTM reported.

A Romney campaign source told CNN they had "assured the Bauers that the campaign would take responsibility for any remaining issues."

No surprises here.
What else do you expect from a arrogant bunch of snobs? How's that relating to middle class people working out for you Willard? And what remaining issues are there? I bet they didn't leave a tip. A bunch of cheapskates.
Of course they were. They only need votes from the "little people" and don't need to pretend they think of them as equals.
Not that he's used to people bowing down to him or knowing what he wants when he wants it, that's just Mitt being his whacky & care-free self.
Let's see now Willard:
CAN'T control his staff
CAN'T control his words
CAN'T control his taxes (filed for extension)
CAN'T control his MA record (of failure); and most of all,
CAN'T control his mouthy wife
The list goes on and on. Too many CAN'Ts for me and not enough CANS which = BAD president. We wouldn't be able to send this fool anywhere without him insulting someone. No thank you, I'll continue on with the hope and change because he CAN.
Obama 2012 ALL the way.
Let me Guess she is a democrat!
What would you expect from a campaign whose nominee has an elevator in his home for his car ! And who cuts off some kids hair and wears a police uniform for fun so he can pull people over. Gov. Robme is the most awkward,dis-connected nominee from either party to have ever run for political office.
Of course the "staff" was disrespectful. They are just behaving the way their"boss" behaves.
What did they expect from a little. empty, no personality, no class and style, nobody.
This should be no surprise and don't expect a word from Romney, he never stands up against what's wrong, we've seen it over and over again.
I do not surprise at all. It is a cult. Flip flop should be ashamed.
How well let's consider most significant thing whenever you approach the field of wine, should be to work with an authority who will advise the most effective alternatives for one to enjoy the fine qualities of the drink.etichette vino
How convenient that this horrible thing would happen to her on an election year and the bad guy is Romney. Hmmmm, and she got herself some free publicity and she's on TV. I'm sure this will become a new reason for Democrats to say don't vote for Romney. I wonder how many Democrats have phoned her since the incident or before the incident.
I wonder if the cheep sob left a tip from the gopbp ,the republican bafoon party .
Not at all surprised, he's arrogant and disrespectful himself.
Don't worry ms.bauer,all those romney people will be getting pink slips in Nov .
Completely disrespectful and downright concerning that this is how he treats a BUSINESS OWNER,. "Get outa my way lady and I am taking over your cafe, and you have to get in the back now."
And this guy thinks he is in touch with the American people.
Doesn't pass the smell test...
Please, they're just little, insignificant Iowans...that can vote.
Guess the Romney folks can;t take the truth about their guy no matter who dishes it .... pitiful.
This is what passes for news in the mainstream media. Gee, the guy's staff were rude, I guess we shouldn't vote for him. Meanwhile, mainstream NBC finally mentioned the year-long DOJ scandal for the VERY FIRST time last night. Could the media be more slanted?
Agreed @cali girl! The one who is "in touch" with Americans is the one who reads and responds to letters from Americans on a daily basis...
People tend to follow the behavior of their leader/manager/boss/nominee for President. He is arrogant so they are arrogant. No surprise here and BTW, I'm pretty sure they did some canvassing to find a Republican leaning establishment to go to. Why bother with a Democratic leaning establishment in the first place. They probably treated this owner BAU. They just didn't count on her not taking it laying down... Good for her for calling them out on their nonsense...

If it was Obama, he would have called and blamed it on Bush. Unless it was a European Cafe. Then he would have apologized before his staff even arrived.
All these Repubs assuming she's a Democratic voter just proves how ignorant & arrogant they are.
To the conservatives anyone who doesn't follow fox/GOPTs talking points is the enemy.
In November everyone needs to remember that to the Repubs independent thought or opinions are the enemy.
come on CNN had the Obama campaign been accused of doing something like this FoxNews would set up shop and have a broadcast from there. "Fox and Friends" would be there LIVE and bring the couch with them and get this owner to say every negative thing she could about the president while they nod in agreement. You're letting a golden opportunity pass here guys.
