![]() ![]() The rest of the group followed shortly thereafter. We didn't stay much longer, instead almost the entire group went to a nearby bar for post-match shots & beers b/c Fucsia Server had made us feel so unwelcome all night. I mildly told her that one of her coworkers had said it was OK, she stormed off & we didn't see her again. As we celebrated our friend's birthday Fucsia Server came over to give us a hard time about it. ![]() I didn't like the idea of asking mom after dad said no, but another member of the party asked a second member of the staff about having the cupcakes & the answer was an immediate, "yeah, go ahead," so we did. *Īfter that particular behavior one member of our party suggested we should just have the cupcakes inside the venue anyway as we'd hoped/planned. If her thinking was "the bar will make another 75¢ if I burn this credit that clearly belongs to this large group which has been pumping tokens into these machines for the past 3 hours," I'd say that 75¢ earned is outweighed by her totally unnecessary & very negative act. The lost 75¢ is no big deal, the malice is. She stopped, with her free hand pressed the start button, then plunged ball one, poisoning the credit. Fucsia Server was bussing, carrying several pint glasses in one hand as she walked passed Dialed In. Several of us were at a tall table within 3 feet of the game. There was a credit remaining on the machine. * 3) At one point 4 of us had just finished playing a game of Dialed In pinball. She looked him in the face & walked away. Not a big deal.Ģ) One member of our party of 16 walked up to the bar & asked Fucsia Server for water. The group decided that when celebration time came we'd move on to another bar for our post-gaming shots & beers & hang & to sing happy birthday & have mini cupcakes. In this situation allowing 5 minutes of celebration including 2-bite cupcakes from outside would have been a sound business decision. on a slow Tuesday night) b/c in situations like this doing so might cause a large group to leave the venue rather than stay longer & spend more money. If I was managing the venue I would empower my employees to not enforce this rule at all times (i.e. Fucsia Server said no & tried to convince me to buy a few $9 brownies instead.ġ) Not allowing outside food as policy is fine, & although disappointed, I was OK with it & informed the group. Noticing they had a desert (brownies) on the menu I thought it would be the right thing to request permission to share our outside "food" on the premises. This is described in chronological order, but if TL:DR, skip ahead to item #3.Ī couple of weeks ago I was with a party of 16 at Barcade in Chelsea, one of which was celebrating a birthday. ![]() Group's evening darkened by a female server with fucsia hair (henceforth: Fucsia Server), jean shorts, black leather belt w/ studs who was repeatedly a real downer. ![]()
