I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

I learned something this week.

Something I never knew before.

Seems that running out of Chardonnay by the glass is an affront to god.

Not quite as bad as being a serial killer but much worse than stealing from orphans.

Our wine order this week was a disaster.

Not anyone’s fault.

Just growing pains as we figure out systems.

We were out of Chardonnay by end of night Friday.

Liquor we can get everyday but Sunday. And if I’m desperate I can get it on Sunday.

Wine is a little trickier.

Needless to say we were out of Chardonnay, Pinot noir, and Beaujolais.

Most people were understanding.

Except for a guy who left a review on Sunday angry that we were out of Chardonnay on Sunday at 5:00 and they were early.

Then.

Tonight.

I’m at the door when a couple from the bar leaves.

I thank them for coming in and ask how their experience was.

My mistake.

I’m told that that are being forced to leave because we don’t have Chardonnay. His wife only drinks Chardonnay and they can’t stay.

I ask for clarification and he says it’s inexcusable that we don’t have Chardonnay by the glass.

I tell him we do but we are out of it.

He says then you don’t have it.

Inexcusable.

I say we normally have it.

But you don’t tonight. Inexcusable.

I try to explain we are new…

He interrupts to say it’s a failure in our part. And that I should be making it up to them. I’m not handling it very well. And good luck with this restaurant you are going to need it.

I’m done.

I say I’m not handling it well because you aren’t being nice about it. It just a glass of wine.

And we won’t be back.

I’m sure we’ll be just fine with out you.

He continues complaining while waiting for his car.

And so yes.

An affront to god.
