"Help run an outdoor/adventure club. We hike every Wednesday and always go out afterwards for food/drinks. Went out of my way this week to find a spot in Chestnut Hill for us to gather, since we normally don 't go there and since a lot of places close at 9pm. Showed up, and lone bartender was clueless about our reservation. Had first spoke to someone weeks ago on the phone (we weren 't looking for any special treatment just order off the menu and possibly to sit together if they could accommodate us). Bartender managed to get person on the phone I contacted and even had a phone conversation with and they were surprised we showed up because I didn 't call them a second damn time despite me emailing them two days ago that I 'd be bringing 10 15 people. Sign out front also says new summer hours to 10pm and they were closing when we walked in at 8:50pm. Like okay not exactly dropping 15k but why do so many places today not want to make money? Knew it was a problem when person insisted on a phone call after first contact. Like I 'm not asking for a wedding or funeral lunch in. Just wanted space and a reservation if possible. It 's the 21st century Karen!"
