This was actually my first time "celebrating" St. Patty's, because f'real yes it is a pretty irrelevant holiday to my life as well and especially after yesterday I will probably never celebrate it again.
- Decided to do Jameson's w/ Ray, JT and Jaybar
- First of all, it was packed, so there was nowhere to sit for a good 20min
- There were drunken white people irish people I DONT KNOW but they were all standing around and dancing and singing and at this point I just wanted to sit down and have my damn wings
- There was ridiculously loud Irish music playing from a live band, so ugly hahaha
- Madd headache at this point too
- FINALLY, JT spotted a booth in the back
- We sit for another good 15min waiting for a server to actually come up to us
- We get the server that has never worked at Jameson's before, so she doesn't know which beers are on tap, this is frustrating
- THEN SHE TELLS US THAT THEY RAN OUT OF GREEN FOOD COLORING... no green beers for the boys, they were pissed hahaha
- Not to mention Jameson's is right by Superstore, they should've seriously considered getting someone to walk over and pick some up because why would you want to run out of green food coloring on St. Patricks Day
- ANYWAYS, then she tells us that we can't order food, because they don't have enough staff or something?! WTF!
- So we decide to order drinks: a vodka slime, a pitcher of Kokanee Gold and a water
- She brings us our drinks, and for some reason she also brought us a glass of Strongbow which we did not order, plus she only brings 2 cups for the pitcher of beer when obviously there are 3 boys that are going to be splitting it
- THEN she goes to tell us the total, which is like $30... and tells us we have to pay up front
- None of us have cash and ask if we can just pay after we're done, she says no
- AND THEN the best part she goes to tell us that ALL DEBIT MACHINES ARE DOWN IN CALGARY, even at the bank supposedly (because Telus crashed or something) and that they are only taking cash or else she needs a credit card to put the payment thru manually
- All of our cards our maxed, except Ray's
- So she takes Ray's credit card and keeps it for another good 20min, meanwhile we are all pissed and not even drinking our drinks because bitch didn't tell us BEFORE WE ORDERED that we could only pay cash
- At this point we are even more pissed that she gave us a glass of Strongbow that we didn't order and still charged us for, so Ray goes to go and find the girl but can't find her
- Meanwhile, the really loud Irish music is still screaming in the background, and the place has filled up with even more drunken people
- Also, it is a little sketchy when someone has your credit card for that long so we just wanted to get it back and leave
- We look over to the table behind us who got there after us, and they somehow had nachos and salads which looked like they were fresh from the kitchen, girl lied to us
- Then for some reason the manager comes up to us to straighten things out because the girl doesn't know how to communicate to customers herself
- FINALLY, I don't know why it took so long to seriously manually take an imprint of a credit card because I know that whenever we have to do that at Aritzia it takes a total of 10 seconds
- Tipped her $1.50 (which was probably too much) and left.
- Then we go to the TD and the BMO, and we are all able to pull out cash with no hassle... SERIOUSLY GIRL!? You are so dumb
- Decided to go to Juliet's Castle on 16th instead to finally get wings and eat, which also took a long time to get because it was also busy there but nonetheless it was better than Jameson's.
I almost never rant, but seriously what a stupid St. Patricks Day. The end.
