"This is my first visit to Wisconsin, as I'm here for a one-week business trip. I'm a professional who typically dresses in a suit and tie, and I'm fortunate enough to travel across the country for my work. During my travels, I’ve dined in hundreds of restaurants and was looking forward to unwinding at a local spot with good food, drinks, and hopefully catching an NBA playoff game.
While exploring Milwaukee, I came across a banner claiming it had the "Best BBQ in Wisconsin." Being from Texas, I was curious to see if it lived up to the hype. However, from the moment I stepped inside, I didn’t feel particularly welcomed. The waitress handed me a menu, and when I inquired about the restrooms, I laid the menu down on the table and went to wash my hands. When I returned, the menu was gone.
I thought perhaps she misunderstood my question and assumed I had left. It took a while for her to bring me a glass of water, and I had ample time to look over the menu multiple times before she returned with it. When I informed her I was ready to order, she took my order and walked away. Not long after, she returned asking for the order again because she had forgotten it.
After finishing my meal, I went to wash my hands again, as there were no wet wipes or towels at the table, which is a common courtesy at many BBQ places. When I returned, my food and drink had been cleared away, and the table had been cleaned. So much for relaxing! I was left feeling frustrated and speechless by the experience."
