I was trying to squeeze into a spot at the bar to order a drink and a guy sitting at the bar was blocking me and calling me out for cramping his space. Maybe he should have been more polite than to try and impress his girl into thinking he was super manly. I didn’t have enough space to order but he insisted on complaining . I tried to tell the bartender but they said I was trying the start trouble when I just wanted to order a beverage.

A short open letter to the staff/management at this very popular local bar following unacceptable service on New Year's Eve: I get that being in the hospitality industry is incredibly stressful at times.

Ultimately, if you are staffing a place like this and can't find one ounce, not a shred of either hospitality or civility, it can literally ruin a night for people. Adults are there to find a little pocket of relief from this brutal...
