The reason was there were not enough chairs. So when all the chairs are full they start turning people away and won't let them in to stand? Yea right. We were also told that we could not just order drinks, we had to order food as well. Some weeks we did order food, just not every week and not everyone on the team. It was not fair to our servers. I heard, we are not leaving a big enough tip. If we did not agree to the new rules our table would be given to one of the 15 teams waiting to play. I find it interesting that our business is welcome when the snow birds are not here. I have been told that this happens every year when the snow birds and renters are here.
The other side is yesterday my wife and I couldnt get a table outside, the bar was full and the inside was closed for trivia so they lost our business, of course every since they took sloppy joes off the menu I dont go as offten as I use too
