TLDR: 3 lost CCs by waitress and demand to pay my bar tab twice. No response from owner after reaching out.
On Saturday, I went to the District. I was ordering drinks, and the waitress told me she didn't have my card. The same thing happened to two other people in my group with their cards as well. My card and another were eventually found, but my friend's was not. She was visiting, so she was stuck here for the rest of the week with no card. It seems like someone is either being really sketchy or really irresponsible.
We were not feeling the fact that our cards had been lost, and after received my check and my card, so I tipped, cashed out, and was heading to the door to leave. I was then stopped by the bouncer on my way out, who told me that I hadn't paid. I was confused and so were the others in my group, they clearly all saw me sign my bill. So I told the bartender there must have been a mistake, and he was very aggressive with me. He had accused me of trying to dine and dash and essentially steal. I was embarrassed and confused, and he challenged me to show my bank statement. I pulled it up, and certainly there was a statement for the tab that I had paid. He then screamed in my face, calling me stupid and saying that tab was for Maya Dayclub. And sure enough, my other charge from the District came up under Maya Dayclub as well. I then told him I had never been there, and I have not. He then accused me again of trying to steal. He ordered more security and threatened to call the police, so I gave him the additional $50 that he was demanding from me before I left.
He would not have closed my tab and handed me my card if I didn't pay. My friends saw me pay, I gave him physical proof that I paid, and 3 cards were lost. I'm wondering what's going on here? Still no response from owner after reaching out.
