I went to Sissy K's earlier today trying to get some food to eat and maybe a couple of drinks before heading home. I found 2 gift certificates that I had from that place in one of my wallets. One had a receipt, which I couldn't remember if I had $36.56 left on it or if I had spent that much. The other, I never used. Both had $100 marked on the back. I'd given one to someone to use as recentlly as last week, and couldn't remember which one nor how much was left on the card.
So, I arrived at the door and I asked the bouncer if there was a food menu b/c I wanted to grab something to go; & a way to check the balances before I order b/c I didn't want to order and not be able to pay. He said, yes and that the manager should be able to let me know either way. He pointed it her out me and told me her name was either Emily or Michele but I can't remember. Anyways, I went to her and I said the name I was told, she responded; and I asked her if she was the manager and she said yes. Then I asked her if she could check the balances on the cards for me. She took the 1st card and purpusely slid it the wrong way and kept slidding it wrong, until another staff approached her. Then she tried the other one, the correct way and a receipt printed out and she told me that the machine was telling her I had zero balance. I said, OK. Thanks and asked her if I could please have that printed receipt w/zero balance and she acted like she didn't hear me. So, I left thinking I'll resolve this in the morning.
I walked to The Wild Rover and did the same thing and the waitress checked for me. She told me to sit anywhere and I told her that I was going to the bar since I just wanted a quick bite to eat and was prob going to get it to go so I could eat it by the water. I sat at the bar and the bartender asked what I wanted to drink and I told her my order. While she was taking my order, I noticed that manager walking in from Sissy K's and heading to the bar by the register. Bartender poured my drink and told me the price and I said I wanted to get some food to go too but I was paying w/a gift card; and asked her if I should pay as I go or if I should give her my credit card to open up a tab. She said she could take care of the bill for me now and then bring me a menu. When she went to the register, where the Sissy K's manager was standing, they had a talk. Then she came back and said the machine was not accepting gift cards. Then I asked if they were accepting credit cards and they said yes and that they could take care of the bill for me. Not knowing what that meant, I put $5 on the bar, which she walked away from. I put it back in my pockets. The server who had checked for me walked over and heard me asking another re:the cc and said, oh, the gift card isn't working again? Then the other one was like, no it's not substracting $ from the gift card, which is bs b/c the person I gave the cards to were able to use them w/out problem.
After I drink my beer, I walked back to Sissy K's and asked the bouncer again for the name of the manager; and noticed he'd lost his friendly verve. I said, "that manager's name was Emily right," and he was like, "no the one who swiped it's name is Michelle." White people always think being coiniving is a sign of thinking on their feet.
Anyways, I want my $ back from both establishments b/c I'm never going to either again. I used to bring large 200+ groups meetup folks and power profesionals from conferences that I help organize to these bars. Never again.
Y'all are a bunch of RACIST SHITS.
The receipt from Wild Rover reads Server: Taryn V, 5/04/17, 20:07, Swiped T:0 Term:1. Which means, I'd gone to Sissy's around 8:05pm. read more
