Unfortunately
did
not
have
a
great
first
experience
here.
In
fact,
we
left
feeling
uncomfortable
and
disrespected.
My
friend
and
I
came
in
unsure
of
what
exactly
the
place
was
but
it
seemed
like
a
nice
“vibey”
place
to
snack
and
read,
like
a
cafe?
bookstore?
bar?
meeting
place?
library?
No
idea
lol!
We
found
it
on
social
media.
We
were
stopping
by
half
an
hour
before
our
spin
pottery
class
started
and
had
only
been
there
maybe
a
total
of
30
minutes.
Half
of
which
we
spent
looking
around
at
books
to
purchase
and
going
to
the
bathroom
before
a
place
on
a
couch
finally
opened
up
for
us
to
sit
and
read.
The
other
fifteen
minutes
is
what
I’m
about
to
explain
now:
We
sat
listening
to
the
music
and
looking
through
our
books
for
not
even
10
minutes
before
a
lady
with
short,
blonde
hair
approached
us
off-puttingly
with
“So
What
is
it
you’re
going
to
order?”.
Mind
you,
we
hadn’t
been
handed
a
menu
and
at
the
time
did
not
know
there
was
a
drink
per
hour
minimum
(again,
regardless
of
that,
we
were
sat
for
less
than
10
mins).
I’ll
just
do
a
back
and
forth
of
the
exchange.
Her
tone
was
sarcastic
and
condescending
and
we
were
genuinely
confused
as
to
why.
Me:
“Sorry,
we
didn’t
know
we
had
to
order
something
right
now”
Her:
“Well,
this
IS
a
business”
Me:
“We’re
aware…
we
just
didn’t
know
what
type
of
place
this
was.
We’ve
never
been
here”
Her:
“I’m
not
sure
what
you’re
used
to
but
we
are
at
capacity
and
would
rather
have
PAYING
customers
here”
My
friend:
“Oh….kay.
Yeah,
um
we’re
actually
leaving”
and
the
lady
proudly
prances
off
to
greet
other
customers.
I
was
so
upset
by
the
interaction,
no
longer
interested
in
purchasing
the
things
I
had
in
mind,
so
I
went
to
the
bar
and
asked
to
speak
to
someone
privately.
I
already
assumed
that
the
blonde
woman
was
likely
the
manager
(She
WAS).
She
walks
up
with
the
same
snarky
demeanor
as
before
but
you
can
tell
she
didn’t
expect
to
be
pulled
aside.
I
just
let
her
know
how
to
properly
speak
to
customers
and
how
incredibly
uncomfortable
she
made
us.
That
it’s
not
okay
to
insult
potential
customers
based
off
of
personal
dispositions,
but
luckily
for
her,
she
chose
someone
who
will
sit
her
down
the
way
a
teacher
would
a
student
instead
of
yelling.
It’s
just
sad
how
proud
she
seemed
of
herself
when
she
treated
us
that
way
and
even
sadder
that
a
new,
young
customer
such
as
myself
would
need
to
breakdown
the
issue
to
her.
A
simple
“Hi!
How
are
you?
We
actually
have
a
food
and
drink
minimum
for
seating.
Here’s
our
menu
so
you
can
get
a
chance
to
look”
would
have
gotten
the
message
across
just
fine
that
we
should
order
soon.
She
just
stared
at
her
toes
and
apologized
for
her
approach
and
for
not
handling
things
better
and
then
we
left.
It
just
sucks
that
we
thought
we
found
a
cool,
quaint
place
but
left
feeling
unwelcome.
Although
we
didn’t
get
to
try
anything,
the
food
smelled
like
it
could
have
been
good.
I
wanted
to
try
the
pizza.
Also,
there
seemed
to
be
a
lot
of
things
offered
there,
we
just
didn’t
get
to
experience
that
the
way
others
did
that
night.
The
music
was
loud
but
there
were
private
rooms
you
could
reserve.
Anyway,
we’re
still
unsure
exactly
of
what
this
business
is
categorized
as
since
no
one
took
the
time
to
explain
when
asked,
but
it
seems
centered
around
money
and
lacks
overall
customer
service.
The
bartender
with
red
hair
was
nice
though!
And
the
nice
guys
at
Jimmy
John’s
next
door
really
redeemed
our
experience
at
this
place.
