Sherlock's BAD!!!
Sherlock's BAD!!!
First Incident: I ordered a beer and the waitress told me that she thought I was too drunk to order another beer. This was shocking to me as nobody had every told me that before, and I felt pretty much sober, as anybody would be after taking about eight hours to drink as many beers. I was offended that she said that to me, so I paid the bill without a tip and wrote that we had horrible service and left as quickly as we could in disgust. When we got to the car I looked at my bill to confirm that I had only two beers and try to contemplate how she could justify accusing me of being too drunk for another beer, and noticed that she had charged us for four beers each.
Second Incident: We got a beer each with cash at the bar and then sat down. We could have stood up and talked to a waitress, but we were feeling chatty and I wanted to speak some Spanish with them. After the waitress came and we discussed the price of nachos $8.50, and my friend mentioned how the bussers were trying to ignore us and that it would have been more professional for them to be more attentive. The waitress said they are bussers and that's not their job, so I told her that I wanted to speak Spanish with them but it wasn't a big deal. My friend had worked as a waitress at a few different places during college and asked to speak to the manager to suggest to to tell the bussers to be more attentive, and I also took the opportunity to mention the incident that happened a couple months ago and wanted to talk about that too. To my remark she said the waitress probably doesn't even work there anymore because the turnover rate there is so high. A few moments later, after I was about half way through my beer, a short overweight blonde woman walked up to us and sort of rudely said, "What's going on?" My friend, in a VERY friendly chatty way, as she is a very kind, benign and friendly person, made the suggestion about the bussers attentiveness. My friend acknowledged that it was trivial and was a little drunk, but just wanted to help out with a friendly suggestion. To our shock the manager said that she wan't going to blame her bussers for anything and that my friend was too drunk for another beer and too drunk to drive and asked me if I was too drunk to drive too or else she would call us a cab, and we needed to leave immediately. I calmy told her I was fine to drive. I didn't mention that my friend was too, which she was, but asked if it was OK if we stayed to finish our beers, as I was only half way through mine, and she said no.
