Over the weekend, five of us cousins spent the day at Yaamava' Casino to celebrate our cousin’s birthday. The day started off great, we had delicious food at your Hotel (Hot Dog and Pizza spot??) enjoyed some gambling, and then headed to George Lopez’s restaurant. Everything continued to be amazing. We drank, danced, even got the crowd involved, it was a fun, lively atmosphere. We even bought a round for the band during their break, just to show our appreciation for the vibe.
After about three hours of celebrating, we went up to the bar to order more drinks. As we began to place our order, the bartender abruptly said, “You need to calm down,” followed by, “You need to stop drinking.” We were completely taken aback and confused, we weren’t being loud, disrespectful, or disorderly in any way. In fact, we were adding to the positive energy of the night. Everyone around us was having a great time, and we were just enjoying ourselves.
We spoke with the manager, who apologized and agreed that the bartender’s comments were inappropriate. She acknowledged that we had been contributing to a fun, energetic crowd. While we appreciated the manager’s understanding, the damage was already done. The experience left us feeling embarrassed and unwelcome, and we decided to cut the night short and leave.
It’s incredibly disappointing that a night which started off so well ended on such a sour note. Any other business would have appreciated the positive energy and the money we were spending. We’re truly upset that our celebration was handled this way.
