We sat at the table in the back and there were several other customers. The table in the front by the bar was filled with “the regulars”. Daily drinkers who sit and drink for hours. I’m okay with that, I’ve seen them plenty in the past. But yesterday the foul language, inappropriate sex talk and general loudness of the table of 8, I think, was over the top. I am not a prude and not the fun patrol and my name is not Karen. But appropriate behavior in a restaurant with other customers was not in their wheelhouse of common courtesy.
And then they started requesting music from the Alexa Echo devise. This speaker is in the back by the table. They had it so loud to be heard over their talk, that it was deafening in the back. To each his own on music, but what they requested I have no words to explain. Alternative, punk-rock country? We turned it down ourselves several times, but they repeatedly turned it back up.
When Jimmy brought our food my daughter asked if something could be done about the extremely loud noise and music. Jimmy stated those are his “regulars” that are there every day and he cannot offend them. I find it deplorable that they bully the owner and that he accepts it. We packed up our $200 worth of food and left. I will not be back. I’m wondering how many others don’t return. In allowing the abusive few customers, how many more customers has he lost?

Interesting thread. A world of hate, greed and thoughtlessness, and an opportunity to address it. Humanity at its worst, but it doesn't have to be that way.
