Rudeness will not be tolerated. In a down economy - in a small town - with three hungry people who probably would have kept coming back with our full group, including at night for drinks, rudeness is bad business.
We called before arriving and asked if we could sit outside. With some elderly people at home, we just don't want to sit in a crowd. They said "yes" and we drove over.
When we arrived, we asked one of the servers if we could sit down outside. She said we could, but to order food at the bar like it was takeout. No problem.
We walked over to the bar - with masks on - and waited for the bartender to acknowledge us. It took a while. Finally, she walked over and my wife asked if we could order takeout style to eat outside. While in mid-sentence, the bartender cut my wife off, said she's not doing that, and walked away from us in the middle of her own sentence. GONE.
Was it our masks? A little judgment because of that? I can't imagine another reason. You decide. But rudeness will not be tolerated. And my father-in-law, a homeowner of 50 years in Boulder, ain't coming back to the Boulder Beer Bar. ~Steven
