Scandals Saloon

My husband and I have been going to scandals for a long time and spending lots of money. We loved the old staff and knew many of them . We went there on Sunday for the first time after they reopened. As per usual, the parking is a rediculous valet only thing and I don't let anyone drive my vehicle, so I self parked. I was told that it was 5.00 as it always was. I paid it and parked. Going into the bar, they have upgraded the facility with tile and paint and window coverings that made it very dark. We went to the bar the get a drink, and none of the regular bartenders were there and the lines were very long and it took 12 minutes to get a drink, yes , I timed them. None of the bartenders seem to know what they were doing and come to find out , they aren't even trained to be one. Got talking to some friends and they were all griping about the service . I went to vince for another drink and he was on top of it as usual. I asked him if we still get money off for the valet ticket. He said no because it's free. Ummm, free I said, they just charged me 5.00 to park my own truck. He called over a manager and then a second one to tell my story, they took me outside and we eventually got the money back. New owners think that they need to make changes to an existing business, but in this case they have ruined this person's perspective.The fort Lauderdale crowd is very fickle and doesn't except much change and the people I talked with agree they made bad choices. They should have moved to location to begin with instead of going to an impossible location that will never change. I very much doubt that we will venture back there and from the sound of it , many others won't either. Good luck
