| - Title: Mr. PARKER wants "PLEASE"
Author: Angelo
Once upon a time there was a child named Mr. PARKER, who decided that when he grew up, he'll become the bestest WHATEVER in the world. But 20-30+ plus years later through mediocrity and whatever led him to employment as a "bartender" at the Palomino, he decided on Nov 3 2011, to annoy the HELL out of me.
A:"Hey hows it going man? Can I get a water?"
Mr. PARKER:"Can I get a water what? What else do you need to say?"
A:"Just a water"
Mr. PARKER:"Just a water. What?"
A:"That's it for now, thanks"
Mr. PARKER: "No you don't get anything until you say what I need you to say"
*pause*
A:"I don't want it and have no time for this" *walks away*
"Please" Is that what you wanted me to say? Not even a lightly ribbed tone, a wink, and a smile accompanying "Not until you say the magic word, buddy!" Luckily, it was my friend's CD release party so I was in a relatively good mood, so I just walked away ignoring the urge to spawn altercation but like the ninja that I am, got Mr. PARKER's (due to terms & use the full has been stripped) name from the soundman. So suffer the wrath of a sleep-deprived YELPING Angelo!
Was I rude? It doesn't matter, I'm a F#$(@%* customer! Sure, I've worked retail long enough to know how bad customers get, but I've had my "shitty attitude" moments when I realized I wasn't doing my job. Just because I asked for a free water doesn't indicate I was some bum off the street that hasn't dropped some cash into the establishment that employed Mr. PARKER. And it's the PALOMINO man, not Ms. Doubtfire's party...who forces people to say "please?"
Seriously, if you decided to make this a routine, Mr. PARKER, I suggest you calibrate yourself according to the person you're saying it to. Like the following types of people:
1. A hot flirty chick with a short skirt
2. A kindergarden student
HINT: none of the types of people I was not.
OTHERWISE, the Palomino Smokehouse is great venue for concerts and local band performances. The food was really great from my experiences in the past, with their prices being fair, the concert crowd being really cool and non PARKEResque service being great. I suggest trying their brisket and it's popularity amongst patrons speaks for itself. Certainly worth the trouble of parking downtown.
See how positive this review would've gone? Over a glass water...HILARIOUS
But....My "lessons in customer service" trumps Mr. PARKER's "lessons in human courtesy".
The END
ps. PAAARRRRRRKEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRR!!!
