| - Came in on this cold rainy day to warm up with a bowl of wonton soup. Usually stellar service with a personable outgoing bartender for the past 15 years I've come in here. I was solo and sat at the bar. The 30-something female bartender honestly had a less than stellar attitude. She asked if I wanted a menu, and I said yes. I asked her how her day was going and in a "don't really give a sh*t" tone she said "It's going." She is pregnant, so perhaps that's the reason for her less than stellar-ness with a "non-regular."!Alllllrighty then. She goes off and talks to other people for minutes and finally brings me the menu. I have it less than 30 seconds and she returns and asks if I'm ready to order. I asked what the price of a certain drink was, and she looked at me as if I was asking her the dumbest question. She said "Like 10-11 something I guess." Wow. I get my soup, and there's not a lot of wontons or veggies like there usually is. Bartender never once asked me if everything was okay, could she get me anything else, nothing. All the while she chatted with what seemed to be regulars. I grabbed my keys and wallet off the bar and she must have sensed I was
Finished eating. Never asked me if I wanted dessert, nothing. Cashed me out and put my bill on the bar without a word, but I got the fortune cookie on top. I just looked st bottom of receipt at the "Gratuity Not Included." Indeed. Not today, Bartender Vicky (it was on the bill). If you don't like your job, then get a new one. Treat all customers the same, and don't pay special attention to "regulars." Makes folks like me NOT want to return, ever.
