my bad, hope alls well
keep this bumped. Ok? I am visiting his city. Here is the short story:
Any advice and input is welcome.
On Tuesday night, April 9th, 2002 I visited The New Order about 9PM to meet a friend, Billy Pope who had been waiting on me for a while since I was half an hour late. Upon arriving, Billy had yet to finish his drink and asked if I would wait until he finished. Since he had basically one swallow left, I decided to wait. The bartender came over and throwing a napkin in my face said "what are you drinking?" Since Billy Pope had just finished his drink and was shaking the bottle to show it was gone, I responded "I am not having anything right now, as we are about to leave."
Now around 10PM, Billy and I are returning to the New Order. Billy is outside using the phone while I go inside as I have a great need to urinate. On the way to the bathroom, I spot someone I have not seen in about 9 months and stop at his table to say hello. Since the urge to urinate has pretty much reached it's peaking point, I only say hello. The entire time spent here was about 10 seconds. I go to the restroom at which point the bartender follows me into the restroom, and says to me "Can you do me a favor?" I respond with "sure, what is it?" And he says "Leave." I am standing there in mid stream of urinating and he says again "you need to leave. right now." I am more than a little perplexed and I ask "is there a problem, did I do something wrong?" The response I got was "you are not drinking." So since this is going nowhere, I tell him - so I can finish urinating without him standing behind me spitting words at me, I tell him "I will see about getting a drink when I come out." So he leaves, upon leaving the restroom, everyone in the bar is staring at me and I am VERY uncomfortable about this because I have failed to see what I did wrong, so I just tell him " I think I will have that drink another night."
Now this is where the bartender really stepped over the line. He tells me "don't come back in here if you are not going to drink." I stop at the bar and say "well, you know, you can not force anyone to drink." His response was "well I will ban you from coming in here. All you do is come in here and mess with these men and never drink anything."
Now I would like to point out that I do not "mess with these men". I have a lover and we are both in a monogamous relationship and do not "mess" with other people. Also, just the night before, Monday April 8th, my lover - XXXXXXXX- and I were in the same bar with the same bar tender and XXXXXXX was buying drinks for he, I and another acquaintance.
So I just tell the bar tender " you are making a mistake here." His reply was "no I am not and I will call the police to arrest you." Now this is more than just a vague threat. I ask him "what are the charges going to be?" He tells me "I don't know, you tell me what they will charge you with." I just can not believe the lack of common sense he is displaying. I politely point out that the police can not arrest anyone for NOT drinking and he thens blurts out "well I will have you arrested for loitering. Because you are a homeless person." I am in disbelief right here. Everyone is looking at me. I say "WHAT?" and he responds again "you are a homeless person". I look at the person to my right and I ask "do I really look like a homeless person?", because to tell the truth, I was dressed well above proper attire codes. The man sitting on the stool had been watching the exchange with a slack jaw and he just shook his head and said "I don't think this is something I want to be involved with." So since it was apparent that there was no communicating with this bar tender because was being extremely confrontational and combative. Still standing there with his arms crossed and glaring at me.
I feel I was utterly discriminated against in the highest regards. This behaviour while not only was it unprofessional, it was abusive and humiliating. First of all, no bartender or anyone for that matter would follow a patron into the bathroom to have a confrontational exchange with them. Secondly, there is no law or rule that states someone MUST drink. I could have been someone's designated driver that night. Or I could have diabetes or caffienne reactions that ruled out sodas. Or the other scenario is that I had a look at such a sparse crowd and decided to just use the restroom and go home. I have been in this bar hundreds of times and I have never paid a cover charge which is in effect he was trying to force on me. And lastly, by announcing not once but twice that I was a homeless person, that is complete defamation of character.
After leaving the bar peacefully, rather than causing a scene, the person I had driven to the bar, Billy Pope who was still using his cell phone outside asked me why we were leaving. After telling him what had just occured, he then informed me that many people had been complaining of the same thing from this individual. I don't have a clue what history he has had with others, as I live in Ft. Lauderdale but came to town on Monday April 8th, 2002. I had only been here for two nights and this was the first time I have seen this individual.
SO SHOULD I GET A LAWYER AND SUE THIS MOTHERFUCKER OR WHAT?
