On 11/21/2019 a colleague and I went to Classic Soulz for the after-work set. When we arrived there were five other patrons in the building and we made seven. We sat at a table and my colleague went to the bar to purchase some items. Once my colleague returned another patron informed us that she was a regular and she attends every Thursday night. She informed us that we were sitting at a table that another regular patron always sits at. She advised us to move as the ladies would desire their usual table.
We continued to sit and the lady told the waitress that we should move because the ladies were on the way. I spoke with the waitress and she also advised that we move as someone sits at that same table each week. Another waitress asked if we reserved the table and we informed her that we did not reserve the table. She also advised us that her regular clients always sit at that table. My college asked if this table was off-limits why was there not a reserved sign placed on the table. The waitress informed us that it is an unwritten rule that everyone who comes often knows where to sit.
We informed her that we were there for the first time and no one who does not come often would know of this unspoken rule. My colleague asked to speak with the manager. The waitress informed us that the manager would be out in a few minutes. After waiting we asked the lady security guard for the manager. The lady security guard returned and reported that the manager had just left the building. She went and informed her supervisor of our concerns.
The male security guard reported that he called the owner Larry Williams II and he informed us that the waitresses were out of order and would be spoken to . He told us he would take care of us. The manager Tamera then came and we were asked to step outside. She reported that the table belongs to the regulars as that is where they sit each week. People were walking by staring at us as we were left out in the cold without any resolution. read more
