| - For anyone who goes to Old Town Scottsdale, please avoid Wasted Grain at all costs. I had a terrible experience tonight and I hope that this never happens to anyone at this place ever again. My sister and I arrived here on Sunday, September 6, 2015, at 10:15 pm to meet up with some friends. We stayed for about 30 minutes, drinking only water because we weren't planning on staying out late. When we decided to leave at 10:45 pm, I began to walk out of the bar with my plastic clear water cup when one of bouncers at the front door, whom I will call Bouncer #1, a bald Caucasian male in his early forties, abruptly snatched the cup out of my hand without any explanation and yelled repeatedly at me, "You can't do that!!" I tried to take my cup back and began to explain that my drink had no alcohol in it, that it was simply water. He continued to yell loudly at me that I needed to drink it inside.
So I followed his instructions and began to walk back inside the bar with my water cup but all he did was yell and try to take my cup back again as he yelled over and over, "INSIDE!!" Then he charged towards me so hard and fast that he knocked over the black line dividers, and was inches away from my face, still yelling at me. I was scared that he was going to physically attack me and I began tearing up because I never understood what was being asked of me. At this point, another bouncer, Bouncer #2, came up to us and tried to explain in a professional manner, as it should be, that I was not allowed to take my water cup outside. I found it shocking that such a small matter was escalated to the point where I was fearful that this employee was going to attack me. All that Bouncer #1 had to do was to calmly let me know I wasn't allowed to take my water cup outside of the bar and instead, he lost his cool and behaved in an unprofessional manner as he verbally attacked me in front of other customers.
As I walked away crying, the bouncer that had lunged towards me began talking to the other customers waiting in line. He proceeded to make fun of me and even said aloud, "It's not rocket science". I am only bringing attention to this awful experience so that hopefully, this will never happen to another customer at this place ever again. As for my friends and I, we will be staying far away from this establishment. I will be reaching out to management to make sure that they are aware of the type of employees that are representing their company.
