A fellow contractor and I met here Tuesday 11-7-17 for lunch. We meet 2 to 3 times per week at various Scottsdale locations for lunch. No fast food. Nicer places. We sit at the bar, have ice tea and lunch.
We go up to the bar and begin taking a seat when the bartender asks me if I have another shirt as they do not allow tank tops. Everyday for the past 25 years in my own business I wear a company tank top and gym shorts. I gave up the suit and tie a long time ago. In the approximately 3,750 times I have eaten lunch out in the past 25 years I have NEVER been told I could not be there due to my tank top. It was clean, no stains and I am clean cut and clean shaven.
To top it off the two women next to us were wearing tank tops? Well, the joke is on them because every week my wife and mother -in-law meet for dinner there. I get the credit card bill so I know that HOUSTON'S will now be short an average of $208 per week as the ladies will no longer be going there.
We went across the lot to the tap house and had a nice lunch and the manager laughed at our houston's story and was glad to have our business. I highly recommend the TAP HOUSE. I have told literally ALL of my friends to cease going to HOUSTON'S because apparently if you are a successful contractor you are NOT welcome there if you are dressed casual. Seriously, who does Houston's think they are? It is not the Ritz Carlton for crying out loud.
