Last night, my girlfriend and I stopped for a couple of pints after having some really great beers there on Wednesday. The place was pretty crowded, but there was an open table back by the cooler and in front of the brewing area, so we sat down.
There were two girls working behind the bar, and we got no acknowledgement whatsoever from them. I will grant that it was busy and they were running beer out back and to the tables in the tasting room. We sat there for about 7-10 minutes before the girl with the dark red hair and tattoos even muttered to us in an annoyed voice "We'll be with you in a bit." She and the other girl then disappeared out back, leaving the bar unattended and a line of customers began forming.
After another five minutes, the girl with the tattoos came back in, walked right past us and proceeded to go shoot the breeze with the table near the door. At this point, we had enough and headed towards the door. We walked right past her, didn't make any kind of eye contact or say anything. In response, she says loudly, "Thank you! Have a nice day!"...........essentially a "nice" way of saying "f### you."
We went up the road to Eight & Sand, where I proceeded to try and contact the owners of Westville Brewery via Messenger. I reached someone, but I'm skeptical it was one of the owners, and they essentially paid me lip service.
For the record, neither I or my girlfriend are rude, nor are we troublemakers. We frequent many of the local breweries and we always ensure we take good care of the servers, especially after all they've been through with the pandemic.
I've met the actual owners of Westville and they're really great people. I find it extremely difficult to believe they'd put up with the kind of antics we experienced last night. However, I made it perfectly clear that I will not be returning if the young lady in question is still working there. read more
