I am writing this for awareness. When ordering drinks during a show. If you don't want to be drinking alcohol, be sure to make sure the waitress when ordering. I had recently been in accident very recently and had been prescribed medication that I could not drink with. I made it very clear to the waitress 3 times before she left to put our order in that my beverage was non alcoholic.

A few minutes pass and I was served a drink that I assumed had ginger beer in it, non alcoholic drinks can be very tasty. I usually don't drink non alcoholic but in this case I needed to DUE TO THE MEDICATION I WAS PERSCRIBED. I made this very clear to the waitress multiple times.

The show was great and the comedians were very relatable. However upon the check being received I noticed my drink was much higher than what was on the menu and was actually a completely different drink.

When bringing it to attention of the waitress, I asked why this drink was on the check and if it was alcoholic, her response was yes that's what you ordered. Completely appalled and starting to feel very uneasy and disoriented due to the medications I was given due to a very recent car accident. I asked her if she remembered I specifically told her that I ordered a non alcoholic beverage. I demanded it be removed from the bill.

She left and came back saying she cant remove it that she would have to get her manager, I told her no you can remove it. She came back and removed it however then added the ORIGINAL beverage I would have received and I told her this is not correct, you cannot charge me for something I did not receive.

She comes back out with a man whom I presume to be the manager, average height, dark brown hair and darker skin, who did not even once address himself to me THE PERSON WHO WAS HAVING A VERY BAD MEDICAL INTERACTION and ONLY spoke to my boyfriend and his friend whom is also male.

Being a woman I spoke up, put my hand up to show I was actually there stating and "Hi I'm the one who was served the drink who shouldn't have and don't appreciate this behavior." He didn't say anything, completely oblivious, looked at me for a second and the continued to speak to the men who were with me.

This is sexist behavior that I will never be ok with. I will never set foot in this establishment nor will I EVER recommend this venue to anyone.
