If you can give a negative I would. I attended an event. All night I entered and exited multiple times for a smoke break. Towards the end of the evening (10:30pm), I needed to take another smoke break. At this particular time, a male employee informed me that there is an re-entry fee. I asked him why. He shrugged and replied, "You can ask the owner." Pointing at her. So I reconfirmed with her. She started making excuses. 1. Due to capacity. If you leave you must pay a reentry fee of $20. 2. She didn't like the traffic from the entrance. 3. For the saftey of her of everyone. Please just stay and not smoke no more. They will be closing in 2 hrs anyway.
I asked, "If they are not letting customers out, is it ok for me to smoke inside." To which she responded, that they will kick me out of I did. At this point I was getting heated. I decided if an establishment wanted to just make up rules as the night went on. They don't deserve my business. I gladly left the event.
I feel if they had a designated smoking area to allow smoking customers traffic in and out of their establishments. There wouldn't have been any negative disagreements with customers. Which also would resolve her "in and out" traffic at the entrance. If she was really looking for the saftey of her customers. She needs to hire security and check customer coming in. Also, if she wanted to make any kind of changes to her event while it was going on. She should make an annoucement, if not post ot somewhere. Yet making rules along the way is very unprofessional. All in all this money hungry owner doesn't give any care in the world about anyone but her selfish greedy self.
