We are locals in Provincetown and have been coming to Canteen since the first week they opened. The food, service and atmosphere are all consistently 5 stars. Today was unusual. We went to the back and couldn’t find a table. Not because there weren’t empty tables but because the entire section under the deck was “reserved”. The entire bar was empty, so we sat down. There was no one tending bar. Then Andrew showed up. He could clearly see that we had already ordered our food as we had our number out on the bar. Andrew asked if we were ordering from him. We replied with “no thanks we already ordered”. Andrew replied “well if you aren’t ordering from me, you can’t sit at the bar, you need to find a table.” I replied that we were waiting for a table. He then stated that we couldn’t wait at the bar, “that’s how I earn my money”. I replied that we had been coming to Canteen for years and sat at the bar many times. No one had ever told us that. Andrew explained that he was the bar manager and we needed to get up and leave. My response was quite simple: “We have been coming here for years and never been treated this rudely.” He responded: “My name is Andrew, if you have a complaint take it up with my boss.” So we did go inside to speak to Katie. She said “you can sit at the bar or any other seat at Canteen as long as you purchased your food and beverage at Canteen”. Okay, Andrew, this is your chance to explain why you are treating people so rudely.
