Birds of a feather......we had the whole flock......

That old saying “Birds of a feather, flock together” is absolutely true. I’ve seen it time and time again over the last 30 years. Usually in small clusters of 2 or 3.…..however last night we had the whole flock!

A group of 40 was due to arrive at 5:00 p.m. They originally planned to sit on the patio, but seeing as how it was 95 degrees out, no one wanted to sit outside, so we set them up in one of the banquet rooms. Which means last minute scrambling for the servers.

One woman arrived early, and came into the lounge for a drink. There was one guy at the bar, she sat next to him and immediately barged into our conversation, talking about something that had nothing to do with what we were talking about. When she came up for air, we tried to finish our conversation, but it was to no avail. When she finally went downstairs to her room, she decided they should all move upstairs and sit in the lounge for half off appetizers and drinks.

Doesn’t work that way. No specials on parties, and no coupons, which someone had a stack of, that she printed off. We’ve already bent over backwards by letting you all order off the menu and change your room twice.

The servers were trying to take orders, (while constantly being barked at) then the idiots would get up and move. Don’t expect us to chase you around the room. If you’re sitting at the bar, and all you have is a diet coke (your tab is a grand total of $1.95) don’t wave your empty glass in my face when you want a refill. I won’t see it. At least make an effort to display some form of manners.

The singer happened to be there, they asked if she would sing. Then she was met with comments like, “You’re not gonna be loud, are you?” “You’re not gonna scream into the microphone, are you?”

As a whole, this flock was totally lacking in any social skills, manners, couth, whatever you want to call it. We put up with a lot of shit, but this group pushed it past the limit. No wonder they meet at a different restaurant every month, NO ONE wants them back.

I guarantee you, that no matter where they go, they thoroughly piss off the staff and get the same service and attitude. I can also guarantee you that no one is this group has figured it out.

They are like a flock of pigeons, leaving a trail of shit no matter where they go.
