Yea, I guarantee there is more to the story, showing up with a party of 25 with no reservation on a busy night almost certainly would mean a 2 plus hour wait for anyone, and if someone shoved a recorder in my face, I’d be done with them too.
I think there is a lot more to this story.
They got even more animated when I told them a coke was $2.25 and the cheapest beer was $4.50 a pint.
They seemed certain that this rule was made up on the spot and only because I didn't like black people. Oh, and they thought I was gay.
After surrounding me and waving their fingers/fists in my face, they promised to come back and "protest."
