Wife and I are both Air Force and members of a legion in Michigan.
Stopped a few times before and had great service but had only sat at the bar for dinner, that is until this last and final visit.
We love their fish fry; so we thought, what a great way to end the week by supporting them. Made the drive only to be purposely skipped multiple times with eye contact by the server.
We sat at the table in the center by the window in the bar. 3 other tables were occupied and were cashing out. 2 tables left within the 20 minutes we sat there. The 4 people at the 3rd table were having a laugh and conversation with the server, who had cleared the other tables before sitting for a chat with them. She got up and left to attend another table who had just sat down.....
She looked at us each time she walked by. What was it? Our young age of early 50s, our attire; too fancy for you? Is it because we don't smoke? Because we aren't toting oxygen around? Is it because we are educated? Is it because my love and I have a great conversation with each other while waiting to be served?
We tip... boy, do we tip.. usually 30%. We love to take care of our servers when they deserve it.
The legions are suffering and needing young members. Well, you just lost 2, and we will deter everyone we know, here, verbally, and on social media. read more
