点评:Arrogance comes in all shapes and sizes. My friend and I walked into Boone and Crockett on a late Saturday afternoon in November. We were older than anyone else by a few decades. In Milwaukee usually no one cares. Boone and Crockett was different.
We sat at the bar, ready to enjoy a few cocktails. With an interesting location on the river, Boone and Crockett's geography provides immediate identity. The decor is midwestern generic but most would consider it nice. A bearded and burly bartender told us to look at the QR code for the cocktail list without eye contact and then completely ignored us. After ten minutes I was literally waving my arms like a signal officer on an aircraft carrier, and a female bar keep from the other end of the bar disengaged and walked over to take our order. She was nice enough but disappeared, leaving only the burly, surly, and bearded one. He continued to ignore us. The place was filling up with a crowd that looked like Marquette students. They were young and preppy. This ain't Bayview.
After twenty minutes attempting to order a second drink, we gave up, but they had my credit card. We threw on our coats, and the burly, bearded one went to the register without looking at us, and tossed the bill and card on top of the bar and walked away. I signed, grabbed the card, and vacated Boone and Crockett, never to return. I left a tip because I'm a wimp. We drove to the Lost Whale on KK in Bayview and had a great time. Boone, Crockett, Burly and Surly are not for me.
翻译:傲慢有各种形式和大小。十一月的一个星期六下午晚些时候,我和我的朋友走进了布恩和克罗克特。我们比任何人都老几十年。在密尔沃基,通常没人关心。布恩和克罗克特则不同。
我们坐在酒吧里,准备享用几杯鸡尾酒。布恩和克罗克特位于河边,地理位置优越,地理位置十分突出。装饰是中西部的通用风格,但大多数人都会认为它很好。一位留着胡子、身材魁梧的调酒师告诉我们看鸡尾酒单的二维码,不要目光接触,然后完全不理我们。十分钟后,我真的像航空母舰上的信号官一样挥舞着手臂,酒吧另一端的一位女酒吧离开了,走过去接受我们的订单。她人很好,但是却消失了,只剩下那个身材魁梧、脾气暴躁、留着胡子的人。他继续无视我们。这个地方挤满了看起来像马凯特大学学生的人群。他们年轻且预科生。这不是湾景。
二十分钟后试图点第二杯饮料,我们放弃了,但他们拿走了我的信用卡。我们穿上外套,那个魁梧、留着胡子的人看也不看我们就走到收银台前,把钞票和卡片扔到吧台顶上,然后走开了。我签了字,抓起卡,然后离开了布恩和克罗克特,再也没有回来。我留下了小费,因为我是个懦夫。我们开车去了 Bayview 的 KK 上的 Lost Whale,玩得很开心。布恩、克罗克特、布尔利和粗鲁不适合我。
