Ok, so I have seen a recent review about a customer who recently joined this post. As a previous…read moremember of the post and a member that cannot wait to get back to this post, I would like to greatly extend my apology for the horrible experience you had while being there. I cannot wait to leave the San Francisco area and get back and help this post out. I have a lot of passion for this post and I again am sorry for you horrible experience. There are many of people who know me at this establishment and I promise you it is not normally like this. There are a lot of great veterans there and also some of the staff that works there are strictly volunteers and do not understand all of the rules that go on with the VFW. They have many great feeds and an open bar with great prices. The food is extremely affordable and the service is usually spot on. There may be a few patrons that push people away, but for the most part, this post is very accepting of new people and helping spread the word. Jim Weaver is an excellent man and this post is one of my favorites. I miss everyone here and cannot wait to get back.

I joined the VFW mainly because they have a nice pool table that I can play on during lunch. I went…read morein, asked all the pertinent questions about the table (in terms of things such as availability, do I need to purchase food to play, etc.). Content with the answers I received, I paid my $25 fee and was given a card indicating membership. Now, the problem. I go in Friday at lunch and the bartender comes over and tells me that a group of men come in every Friday to play and that I'll have to leave when they show up as "they have kind of a reservation". I then asked, "Oh ok. So I can reserve the table for other times?" She responded, "No. You can't reserve the table. But, they're 4 people and they buy lunch." (In other words, they spend more money than you, so you need to go away.) Ok. At least 2 problems I can see here: 1) How is it that these 4 men have carte blanche to "kind of reserve" the table if it can't be reserved, and 2) if it can't be reserved, what business is if of hers (the bartender) to police who's on a table that can't be reserved?! Her business is behind the bar. I'm sure that when the guys showed up, we could have worked out an agreement. Maybe, I leave. Maybe, I join them. Who knows? The bottom line is that it's extremely rude and unprofessional to effectively imply to a paying customer that other paying customers have special rights not enjoyed by all. If they have some sort of nepotistic thing going on here, then fine. Tell me before hand, and I won't join. But it's poor business to take my money and then tell me after the fact that there are two sets of rules. Ok. It's a measly $25, but it's the principle that counts here. I planned my lunch hour on this, and now have no time to go anywhere else to eat or shoot some stick. I'm definitely going to complain as loudly to the highest levels I can to get my $25 back and to ensure that others know about how these people conduct business.

In our contract/set up plan, they had written 250 chairs and stated they would be able to fit 10 guest per table, and that I could bring the banquet permit the day of the reception. 2 days before the wedding, they call me stating that they cannot fit 10 guests per table and that they could not have 250 guests in the venue. They also needed the banquet permit at least a week in advance. They were extremely rude over the phone and in person. Only provided 230 chairs, not the 250 they promised us. And continued to state that "i don't know who is telling you this information about the guest count and what not but that's not how we do it" . They never apologized for the inconvenience or anything. I explained we would have never booked with them if they could not do 250 guests. But they kept raising their voice repeating the same thing "I don't know what to tell you. That's not how we run things" . I would NEVER recommend this place. Ever. To anyone. As a daughter of a retired vet, it disappoints me that they would treat customers the way they treated me and my family the day of my wedding date. But since I have to have 1 star, I give it to the worker, Joe. He was the ONLY person who would help us get things done. Management was awful. But joe was awesome. Thank you Joe.

We are not claiming to know, at this time, what, exactly, those changes will be. We do know that communication between all homeless advocacy groups is non existent and mandatory for solving the homeless crisis. VCC will be visiting all 39 counties to assess the actual homeless condition in each county. VCC is also designing a survey for Washington state residents. This is so we may learn from those smarter than us, from those with ideas and no voice. All this information will be the building blocks of new homeless programs. Be part of the solution. Get involved. Support us by texting the word homeless to 77948 to donate. The mission needs to be funded. Thank you and God bless.
