Did The Bartender Say Something To You? A Story

Okay last week- my boyfriend and I were trying to go to a chain restaurant. Usually there’s no waits for this place... but they have some funny rules sometimes so the host of the restaurant said we could sit at the bar if we didn’t want to wait... and we decided to do that.

The bar is never really my favorite place to sit, sometimes the high chairs hurt my back... but with the Covid 19 protocalls- it felt weird. We seemed very close to the bartender and where the food and drinks were being served... we didn’t really feel like we could take our masks off or sit and have a conversation... so we got up and told the host we’d put our names down for a table.

The host then asked “did the bartender say something to you” and I was like “ohhh no! No! we just were’t comfortable at the bar and thought we’d rather wait.” So... I didn’t want the bartender to get in trouble or anything- we didn’t talk to him... so we just put our names down and went to a store that was nearby.

And then I realized “uhhh wait a second that was weird wasn’t it.” And my boyfriend agreed. I wasn’t sure what the bartender would have said to me- I’m sure it was just a concern about capacity limits and it’s probably very valid... but it just weirded me out- I couldn‘t get it out of my head... and my boyfriend and I just decided to go somewhere else. I felt bad vibes there.

The bad thing about that was... we were kind of ignored by a newer waitress at the other restaurant we went to. She said she would be right back to bring my boyfriend a drink... but she just kept passing us and going to other tables. Maybe we should have gotten her. I thought maybe she thought we were on a first date or maybe she thought we were fighting because we were arguing over a scene in American Horror Story and whether it was a flashback or not (it was a flashback type of scene. Aspen was right and I was wrong. I’ll admit it! Lol) Idk. It was just an odd night.

I also dropped part of a French Fry in my drink and she came to refill our drinks. My boyfriend got a root beer and I got a soda... but she mixed up our cups and my boyfriends root beer ended up with a little bit of my Fry in it. Which is what he gets for telling me I’m wrong about a small plot point in American Horror Story! (even though I was wrong lol)

Hope you guys found this story funny. It was really funny when it happened.

Bye! -Shannon
