This was literally THE worst experience we had on DC 2023 Pride weekend, which is why I'm bothering to write this... There were a million places to stop in and spend our money, and unfortunately we chose this one.
I spent over 10 yrs in college waiting tables and bartending at some of the busiest restaurants imaginable, and the woman at the bar with long braids could not have been ruder to us. I can 'get into' and respect a hustle, but there's 'a line in the sand', and she crossed it, then double backed!
It took forever... and then I'm 6'5", 270lbs, standing right in front of her and she helped every person around me, new people, etc. without acknowledging me and my partner for some reason.
***Then when I'd paid for my margaritas... first drink of the day at about 6pm on a very hot day... After having paid over $40 for 2 margaritas and generous tip, she took my cash, then we waited about 5-10 minutes while she literally got on her phone and was obviously texting... then we she graced us with her presence again, I motioned towards the bin of margaritas they were filling (because someone else had just added mix to the machine right in front of me, and the mixture was causing the margaritas to spray out into the bags - watery, yet they kept filling the bags...) and I asked for 'two that were more frozen', she said - "don't touch them, I'll do that..." in the most condescending way... well, it had been about 10 minutes since I paid and she hadn't been able to do it yet.... but, why would I want to touch the margarita bags anyway?? So now I'm a thief?? Or I'm dirty?? Some crazy?? Which is it??? She was the one touching all the cash and people... I SERIOUSLY regretted stepping foot in the place and definitely should have demanded a refund!
I have two masters degrees and am CEO of a major healthcare charity and just can't even explain how we got to that moment, because it was really something..... If I were her, I would find a job that is not people facing. It was her time to shine, and she just wasn't capable. And I'm the king of 'you don't know what else is going on in there life', but it wasn't that kind of situation. She was being nasty just to be nasty.
Wrong one mama... I'm putting these reviews everywhere and depending on the platform, I have thousands of followers, so tends to be effective. The last bad review I wrote, the people literally begged me to come back... Honestly, wanted to give her a break, but the caustic attitude was level 10 out of 10... attaching a couple of pics just to prove we were there and I'm not some random.... read more
