| - Oooof. Had a rough time here last night. Here's how it started. I looked at the menu at their specialty cocktails and saw one that tickled my fancy: The Naughty Lemonade, made of simply TY KU and lemonade. We went to the bar, and here is how the conversation went:
"Hi, I'll have a Naughty Lemonade."
(Waitress scrunches face) "Huh?"
"A Naughty Lemonade."
"What's that?"
"Ummm, it's on your menu. It's TY KU and lemonade."
"What's TY KU? I don't think we have that."
"It's that green bottle right behind you."
"Ohhh, this must be something new."
"No, it's been around a couple of years and like I said, it's on your menu mixed with lemonade."
(Waitress opens the bottle and smells it) "Do you want to smell it before you try it?"
"Ummm, no, I've had it before, that's why I ordered it."
"Do you want to try a sip?"
"Ok, you know what? Forget it, I'll just have a vodka and Sprite."
"Ok, a cranberry vodka coming up."
"NO, a vodka and SPRITE."
"Oh, ok."
And that's just how it started. Other incidents:
- We were done with our drinks, sitting there with empty glasses. She comes over and says, "Oh, did you guys want another round or something?"
- My friends were playing the machines for a good hour and she didn't comp them any drinks (usually customary if you play the machines at the bar) until they asked about it. Then she said she didn't realize they had played...even though she cashed out their machine.
- My friend ordered a Johnnie Walker, and she gave him the JW Black without asking if he wanted the upsell. When he called her on that after we looked at the bill, she said, "Oh, I thought you said you wanted the black." Noooope, never came out of his mouth any of the times he ordered it.
By the end of the night, we had about 4 different receipts because we kept finding mistakes with our bill and she had to keep changing it. It was exasperating and frustrating.
