The rudest staff ever

by josephanthonym

The RUDE HIDE is very close to home & I have been going there for years.

Never have I seen so many customers treated badly, refused service, barred from coming back & thrown out of a bar.

I am not talking isolated instances, I am talking like 3 times a week!

Talk about BAD attitudes: especially the nite staff as a group can be real picky, rude, nasty, paranoid, & downright MEAN.

When their stimulants are wearing off & they get edgy this "us versus them" mentality kicks in toward the customers.( the place has been closed dowm in the past for selling OVER the bar.)

My most memorable experience came when they threw this guy out for being REALLY drunk.

He went to hail a cab & feel down in the street on 8th ave, right in front of the place.

They left him there, LYING IN THE STREET!!!

He could easily have been run over.

I got him into a cab & safely to his destinaion.

This is the sort distane for other human beings that they are capable of.

I too have witnessed racism & sexism toward customers MANY times.

I was recently barred over a misunderstanding involving a tip & the notion that I expected a free glass of beer.HA!

I tend bar myself & NEVER do I not tip nor expect buy-backs.

Well the bitter queen bartender involved refuses to listen to reason, CASE CLOSED.

I'll be happy to never see the inside of that DUMP again.

When they've driven all of us away & the place goes under-I will give a GOOD RIDDENS party!

In the meantime I'll be taking my business to bars where they don't resent their customers.

  • Pros: close to home

Drunk Rude Doormen

by DaveinNewYork

The drunk doorman did not want to let me in because "some black guy" went in to use the bathroom before, and did not have a drink. He said "there are not too many big black guys around ... it was you." Nice. I had been here a couple of times before, and thought of not patronizing anymore ... now that I know they hate black people, I won't go again.
