| - So, let me just preface this review by saying apart from today I have never not tipped a waitress in my life. I know how undervalued wait staff are at any restaurant and am always aware of this when I tip. Today, was the only exception.
My fiancé and I came into Mulligan's just to grab a couple of drinks; today was his birthday. I've been here on several occasions, both with family and friends and have had a decent-ish time. Food and drinks are so-so and atmosphere is typically alright.
Tonight from the moment we walked in our waitress seemed uninterested. The bar was basically empty apart from about five older men. We initially asked for waters before we checked out their drink menu only to be told (pretty rudely) that the kitchen is closed (we figured, it's 11 at night.) She then carded us, so I assume she thought we were underage and just looking to get some food.
We didn't really care, we were not really looking to chat with our waitress and even though I was a little annoyed with her attitude that she at least brought our drinks.
When it was time to leave we paid for the bill and decided not to tip. Tips intended to indicate that you enjoyed your service, and in this case we were so uncomfortable that we didn't. We had initially planned on buying a couple more drinks but this sour waitress really made us feel unwelcome. We paid our $10.00 tab and went outside for a minute before we began to drive off.
Now, for the big kicker.
We had been outside maybe 30 seconds, we tried to hold the door open for the manager (I presume) who was holding a few patio chairs before we got our car. The waitress then opened the bar door and says rather loudly--she must not have assumed we were standing there:
"THOSE RAT ASS KIDS DIDN'T EVEN TIP!"
We stood in shock for a moment, expecting that the manager would call her out on it. She did not. How can you have so little respect for your customers? I shouted out to the manager saying "We are those rat ass kids then, I guess?"
I misheard the waitress initially. I only know this because the manger corrected her. "She said brat ass not rat ass." then sat down to smoke and chat on her cellphone like nothing had happened.
I never thought I'd feel relieved for not tipping someone. To be that rude over what would typically be about a $2.00 tip, can you imagine what they'd be like if we had actually been doing something wrong?
This whole establishment needs an attitude change. We, along with our family and friends will definitely not be coming back. I'd suggest anyone on the fence about coming in to save your money and go to an establishment where they value customers.
