| - I'm a teacher from the East coast, who just came to Toronto for March Break for the first time to visit a girlfriend from university. My friend has been quite excited to bring me out to this place, and we've been looking forward to playing board games since I arrived.
Before going out, we had 2 friends over for supper, and we shared a couple glasses of wine during the meal.
Fast forward to a couple hours later; we get to the bar, and a server greets and seats us. She hands us menus and walks away. When she returns, before we can order, she says "we don't serve people who have been drinking excessively".
Confused, we asked if we are still allowed to play, or eat, or even stay. She answered with a firm "no", and told us to leave.
We were far from drunk - maybe buzzed, if we're being generous - and felt completely insulted.
I don't even know what else to say, except that I'm thoroughly upset with what happened tonight, and feel as though we were judged based on the fact that we looked young and were potentially going to be low paying customers, which - had we been given the opportunity, we would have proved that is not the case.
