I'm regular and gave it in a review 5 star rating. However, this one star only pertains to my visit this Friday, 06/18/2021. Normally, I don't stop on Friday's but I did today.
Two blonde women were working the bar. I've seen them in the past, but know mostly the staff during the other days of the week. They are super.
The one woman, blonde, short, ponytail, and rather bad teeth was attentive and when I cashed out she presented me with the bill and called me Mr.
Now I am informal and said, "Don't call me Mr." and I was going to follow it up with "Call me Fred". Before I could get the words out of my mouth she said "Ok, asshole." and started to yuk it up and perform for the guys at the bar. It really didn't go over as well as she thought it would.
Then she said, "Just kidding." Bullshit . . . she wasn't. My profession before retirement was to read people . . . and I do it well.
I had already signed the check and had a $5 tip, which is usually my minimum. I crossed it out and left 2-bucks.
I really like the Cardinal. Have met a lot of nice folks, including the staff. I will continue going there, but not on Fridays if this classless twit is the regular.
This was an isolated incident I believe, but likely not one with this gal. As I said the staff is superb and I just know from talking with Betty and Noel that this is not tolerated.
I had hoped to have put this in an e-mail rather than a public forum, but was unable to find a direct contact on the website.
Thank you.
